Geometric designs
are big news this year and can be applied to almost any
surface. Paint stripes freehand or cut a squared stencil
from card to create a simple repeating chequerboard design.
In bathrooms or kitchens, ensure your designs withstand
the elements by choosing pure acrylic emulsions complete
with an anti-fungal formula.
Offset
a soothing combination of aqua and caramel with bold splashes
of vibrant blue, to add depth and interest to the scheme.
Avoid clutter and opt for strong lines, modern, minimalistic
furnishings fashioned from rich dark woods and plain floorcoverings
or painted boards.
Update
an existing neutral scheme by painting a single feature
wall in the warmest of caramels. Use masking tape to ensure
crisp lines, add soft furnishings in the coolest of aquas
and finish with textured natural flooring for a look that
is easy to live with, yet bang up to date.
