According to Crown Paints decorating a room with clashing
colours is a new interior design trend for 2017.
This means walls will be bursting with colour in clashing
shades and dramatic patterns and if translating this trend to the rest of the
room seems a bit daunting, we're here to offer some rules about this particular
home interior fashion.
Use white
If you are a clash newbie, work
with white. One of the simplest ways to combine patterns is to choose one
coloured pattern combined with a white background. Then introduce
patterns of that colour. So for example, if you chose a pattern of blue
and white, buy in blue stripes, blue polka dots or blue florals.
Opposites attract
Remember the saying
that blue and green should never be seen? The reference is around two
strong colours being kept apart, but they can in fact live in perfect harmony.
The trick is to incorporate different shades of both colours throughout the
room and then use accessories to include elements of both shades.
Be Bold
With so many beautiful bold home
furnishings colours to choose from you won't be short of inspiration. From
earthy shades such as teal and mustard to jewel tones of burgundy and red,
don't be afraid to break the rules and mix and match. A zebra print chair
with an aquamarine throw is what colour clashing is all about.
Use what you love
Still not sure where to start? Think about what you love or where you
love. Travel can be inspiring and if you
enjoyed the texture and sights of Morocco then colourful tribal prints and
motifs could be the starting point. If
your prefer British classics such as tartan, paisley and chintz, then reference
these colours and designs throughout the room.
