Interior design tips for creating contrast

Use colourful stripes

If you don't like graphic pattern or florals try more classic stripes. Covering a wall in a paper incorporating bold colours with stripes introduces vibrancy in a subtle way. Make a paper like this the focus, and keep furniture understated. Then add accessories like lampshades and cushions in similar shades to complete the look.

Good for: Contemporary living rooms, sunny bedrooms and hallways.
