Hockney-inspired vibrant colour
Follow the artist’s lead and add drama to a domestic setting – graphic fabrics are a key motif.
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.
For an abstract take on painterly style, this wallpaper print leaves the brushmarks clearly defined.
Add a West Coast feel to window shutters by decking them out in a breezy, seaside shade.
Stripe it rich with a bold and zingy wallpaper – primary colours work perfectly on furniture too.
Recreate the shimmering effect of a sun-dappled pool with chic glazed tiles. Now dive right in…
