How to Introduce Colour and Pattern into Your Home
A living room is one of the most used spaces in the home, so it’s important to choose a scheme that suits your personality and lifestyle. Creating a room that you will love for years to come needn’t be something left to the experts! When it comes down to it, it’s a matter of personal style and preference. Here are a few easy tips and tricks to get you started on introducing colour and pattern into your home.
Going Monochrome
Think about your personal taste and the ambience you wish to create. Perhaps you’re all about the chic and contemporary monochrome look. In that case, opt for matching fabrics across your furniture, going for a crisp Linara in a refreshing Sencha colourway, for example. Keeping to one fabric will help keep the look calm and cool, while still bringing in some characterful colour.
Making a Splash
If you’re something of a maximalist, the world truly is your oyster! Choose a statement sofa or armchair in a vibrant shade or bold pattern. Consider punchy options like an energetic Toulin in the Rousset colourway. Or, if you’re looking to go a bit more whimsical, why not try a striped Cosy Linen in bright Daffodil?
Starting Small
If you’re a bit colour-shy, consider starting small with controlled pops of personality. Look to accessories like footstools, for example, dressing them in patterns with a classic feel, like a Bibi in Ginger. If you’re hoping to try your ideas out before you commit to upholstering your furniture, give our cushions a go! We make every one bespoke and can even add the piping of your choice. So, you can start with baby steps, or really let your imagination run wild!
Taking the Classic Route
Stripes and checks are a subtle way to introduce some dynamism into a scheme without being overpowering - and what’s more, they look eternally chic. Another classic option is something like our Chintz in Greenery. It’s a delightfully botanical print that takes inspiration from timeless designs. Plus, it’s got a soft, yet energetic pattern that’s perfect for a formal room.
Having Fun with it
For a more modern setting, we recommend opting for a funky geometric print. If you’re feeling bold, go for a vibrant shade to really make a statement. To be truly on-trend, there’s nothing better than a dynamic, folk-inspired print like our Northiam in the Olive or Spice colourway!
