Play with scale and form by contrasting rigid geometric shapes with fluid, organic lines.
Take your cue from pop-art style and introduce pretty pastel shades to a strictly neutral scheme.
Reimagine Hockney’s love of sun-kissed Californian settings with this punchy palm-tree print.
Splash your space with trademark blocks of colour in a refreshing palette of chalky sorbet hues.
Echo the painter’s passion for cubism with edgy geometrics – patterned ceramics keep things playful.
Make an artistic impression with a papered, colourwashed wall. Ground the look with tonal blues.
