Be bold and experiment with shades of red. Dramatic, passionate, but also slightly quirky, this trend takes a strong red and mixes it with its adjacent colours in funky, slightly irregular circles to form a harmonious colour group. Easy to do with a steady hand and some masking tape.
This vibrant colour scheme is achieved by coordinating hot pinks and orange with an accent of yellow. The soft furnishings work with circles in rectangulars, again a modern take on a 1960s idea – varying the size of the dots adds an interesting visual component.
The bold individual look in this bathroom is achieved by painting the shelves and bath surround in crimson with co-ordinating accessories in the same colour. White works well as a contrast colour, keeping the sense of starkness but providing a soothing note.
