Injecting colour to a specific part of the room can often be more effective than a blanket of colour througut. draw attention to a statement piece, or a favourite area in the room by taking this technique to the extreme. One item in the room in a striking colour-way can add focus and depth to your space. If you love it, accentuate it!
Zesty Seating
Being brave with this bright yellow sofa, instantly brightens the room and draws your eye to the seating area. This will have a positive effect on guests, who will also be naturally drawn to this sociable area of the room. Coupled with the flamboyant zebra print rug, the vibrant yellow infuses fun into what might have been a very formal design.
Green Focus
The chandelier here has been used in a very similar way to the sofa above. The injection of colour lifts this formal design and gives it a more contemporary edge. The simplicity of the rest of the design allows the chandelier to flourish, and the use of colour in the air, allows the piece to breathe and demand its own presence.
Breakfast Bar Brights
In a new direction, this room does not assume a black and white colour scheme, but has opted for less contrast, using black with neutral tones. The general decor is low key, allowing the seating to take pride of place within the room Again, guests will naturally gravitate to this area allowing for more sociable cooking.
Double Block
Key areas of block colour can be more interesting than a single colour. Make sure you do not have too many areas of colour as this will not give the impression of colour in blocks. Try colours that are not usually used together and in small amounts.
Natural Flair
Using fresh flowers in the bathroom is a must. Here the designer has colour coordinated with the strong coloured accessory creating a bold flash of colour in several ares of the room. Carefully placing the colour and using a mirror to reflect injects further areas of colour in the room.
