Interior design tips for creating contrast

Add colour with soft furnishings

Fabric, whether used to cover furniture or dress a window, is an easy way to bring colour into your home. In this room, the off-white walls and wood floor provide a blank canvas for contrasting shades and patterns. Shapely sofas covered in patterned fabrics are perfect for adding colour to a room, and cushions in contrasting tones picked from the curtains help tie the scheme together. The trick to mixing several different fabrics together is to pick a selection of designs from a single collection that has been specially designed to coordinate.

Good for: Sunny living rooms, conservatories, fresh breakfast rooms.
