Create an uplifting living room with vibrant shades
May 31, 2017
Create an uplifting living room for spring and beyond by combining vibrant shades, contemporary furniture and lots of abstract florals.
Love this room
- Balance a vibrant scheme with natural materials, such as furniture with wooden legs and solid timber shelving.
- A block-coloured, dark sofa will help to ground bold patterned cushions and also work as a dramatic backdrop.
- Bounce light around the room with white gloss furniture.
- Choose abstract-printed fabrics in a variety of vivid hues for an eye-catching look.
Styling Tip
Fresh bunches of in-season flowers will help to cheer up any room. Mix vivacious colours with calmer tones to match your accessories and create a cohesive scheme
