Colour

I used to be a monochromatic type of girl.... but recently I've been introducing more and more colour or maybe it's my clients who are requesting it!! But I'm loving it... just take a look at these inspirational photos.

The fabric on this sofa is amazing and the drapes with the bobble trim really accentuate the colours:

I would never have suggested this colour combination - but strangely enough it works. I like the use of vertical stripes on the bed and the diagonal stripes on the drapes:

Creative use of wallpaper by taking it up and over the ceiling:

Seems to me that the red stripes on the wall mimics the stripes on the chairs:

The pops of orange and pink really highlight the wall colour (or is it vice-versa?):

Lots of colour here - there's the purple sofa, brown and pink rug, eggplant walls and multi-coloured pillows.... if you read about the colours you probably wouldn't let your designer go ahead with the scheme but seeing it finished - it just works:

The fabric used for the roman blinds and seat covers is bold, as is the wall colour but as it is used sparingly it's not overbearing:

The orange chairs finish off this room perfectly:

A designer after my own heart with this London inspired room and nice use of bold colours:
