Bring a room bang up to date by adding a few coloured accents, and inject flashes of bold colour for an all-white scheme with attitude.
A hint of
luxurious, coloured silk used to line a pure white linen curtain panel adds instant glamour.
A crafty tip to
inject a splash of colour is to wrap chair legs in coloured paper.
Add focus to a white-on-white scheme by offsetting a group of monochrome ornaments with a coloured one.
A low-commitment way to experiment with colour is to
paint just part of a piece of furniture, leaving the rest white. You can always paint it again if you tire of it. Carry through the colour with a
trim on a lampshade or cushion.
A simple painted stripe in just one corner adds depth to a room.
Sprucing up a cabinet by lining it with
brightly patterned fabric or wallpaper is an easy job that makes a real impact. Use complementary accessories to pull the whole look together.
A design classic dining chair, a quirky stool and some
bright and bold accessories look striking, not overpowering.
