Imaginative use of colour and pattern can be a powerful design combination. Here are some interesting examples.
Use different materials in varying patterns and colours to create interest in an interior.....
Varying shades of pink wall colour and linen in an organic form create an interesting contrast to the regular pattern of the floorboards and geometric pattern of cushions creating the wow factor in this bedroom.......
The shades of copper and orange shine against the dark black garnet wall colour......
Several shades of two or three colours creates a cool mood in this sitting room....................
What about applying a monochromatic colour scheme? Different materials in different shades of the same colour creates texture.......
Don't forget the details........................................................
Go for styling around your favourite artwork..................................
Apply lighting to add special effects......................................
