OPPOSITES ATTRACT

‘When creating an interior full of colour try using a pattern as your starting point. It can be either a wallpaper or fabric, but it should be the biggest and boldest; then pick out some colours to build a palette for your room. Pair muted, soft pastels with dark, rich tones within the same colour family – for example sage and olive, mulberry and rose – which allows for a contrasting yet considered and harmonious look.’
Carley Bean, design director at Cole & Son
