Summer is a great time of year to give your home interior a fresh injection of colour.
Vibrant colours are trending and a bold colour scheme is great for summer and beyond. Bright colours have been proven to lift and lighten the mood and even inspire creativity in individuals.
There are many ways you can nail an eye-catching colour scheme in the home.
Stick to the sixty-thirty-ten rule
Interior designers live by this rule and it’s definitely a great starting point for the amateur designer inside us all.
One colour should be selected for 60% of the room, a second colour should be chosen for 30% of the room and a final colour for 10% of the room.
If you choose a bright colour for dominant colour such as the walls (60% of the room), you may choose a more neutral colour for the furniture (30%) and then accessories in a brighter shade, or vice versa. The combination of bright and neutral colours will add balance to your home.
Add a pop of colour
If you don’t want to take the plunge with a bright blue sofa or bold pink wall, accessories are a great way to introduce colour to your home.
You can introduce a pop of colour with our range of home accessories, from a lively piece of artwork to striking lamp shades. Experiment with different coloured cushions, clocks and vases.
You’ll find a number of different colourways available in our stylish home decor at James Oliver at Home.
Don’t go overboard
So, we’ve convinced you to go bold with colour. Before you go mad selecting every colour in the rainbow, ensure you choose a specific colour scheme rather than a collection of bright, random colours.
After all, there is nothing worse than a room that gives you a headache on entry! You want to channel positivity, not chaos.
Combine colours that complement each other and stick to the scheme. Contrasting colours like blue and pink work well together but you should avoid throwing in additional statement colours.
James Oliver at Home has an assortment of colourful furniture and home decor pieces, perfect for adding personality and positivity to your home. Shop here.
