Colour - 4 ways to brighten up your home

Bold splashes of colour will add drama to your rooms – here’s how to make them work for you

Choose a favourite colour

If your base colour is white or off white, you can use almost any colour as an accent.

Go for your favourite shade, or pick one out from a painting, fabric or accessory in the room. Black works especially well in modern homes and doesn't have to look harsh - introduce sumptuous black fabrics and furniture with elegant silhouettes for a softer feel.
