Monochrome is a classic, sophisticated colour scheme choice. Home d\u00e9cor in monochrome tones can range from understated to bold and striking. When we think of monochrome, we tend to think black or white, but \u201cmonochrome\u201d simply means one colour, whether that\u2019s shades of red, blue, green or any other colour of the rainbow.<\/p>\n
Get the look:<\/em>\u00a0Decorate in shades of one colour, such as blue, green, red, orange or a range of other colours. Equally, monochrome in a neutral colour palette can look great. Think earthy shades like beige and sand, or even shades of grey.<\/p>\n Monochrome doesn\u2019t have to be boring! Decorate with one of our many\u00a0monochrome artworks<\/a>, or check out our many designs using singular colours, like:<\/p>\n White has always had its place in the homewares space and its currently having a big moment. While not necessarily the most practical tone, particularly for families with small children, white can look chic and classic without having to try too hard.<\/p>\n Get the look<\/em>: Pare back white with other neutral tones like sand, ivory or beige for a more varied look. To mix things up, add a multitude of textures to create intrigue for the eye.<\/p>\n White can be a great base to start from and can be built on with practically any other colour, like shades of blue, grey, yellow or even a variety of bright jewel colours to create a pared-back colour palette with pops of vibrancy.<\/p>\n Start with white walls; opt for either a creamy, yellow-based white paint or a grey or blue-based white. From there, you can build your interior colour scheme, adding more white and neutrals or pops of colour, with bold modern artworks<\/a>\u00a0or bright furniture.<\/p>\n The past few years have seen designers beginning to embrace bright and bold interior colour schemes more and more. While white and neutral tones will always have their place in the interior design world, a little colour never goes astray.<\/p>\n Get the look:<\/em> The best way to embrace bold colour is by using contrasting colours, or by using similar colours, like blue and lilac or yellow and green. Alternatively, smaller pops of colour can be incorporated here and there in smaller doses, to great effect.<\/p>\n To add a pop of colour, scatter bold-coloured cushions over your couch or in the bedroom to liven up your spaces. If you\u2019re running out of space, cushions can also adorn armchairs for decoration. Mix single-colour cushions with patterned cushions or photo cushions for a more vibrant effect.<\/p>\n Or, incorporate a bold and brightly-coloured artwork into your spaces. Try jewel tones like emerald green or sapphire. Or adopt on-trend shades like burnt orange or olive green, alongside sea blues.<\/p>\n For more summery, bright interiors ideas, check out our blog on interior decorating for summer\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Juxtaposing warm and cool colours is often a winning interior colour scheme combination.

When we think \u201cindustrial,\u201d we tend to think metals, in all their forms, but the limits of the imagination don\u2019t need to stop there.<\/p>\n Industrial chic is all things grey, white and black, but also think chrome, pewter, brass and steel, as well as pops of colour like burnt orange, yellow, terracotta, browns, maroon and natural greens and blues.<\/p>\n Get the look:<\/em>\u00a0Start with a grey base for walls and build on this. Bare, polished concrete floors can look fantastic in common areas. Then, add metal-based furniture, adding some intrigue by incorporating silver, brass or chrome in your table and chair legs.<\/p>\n Add a colourful piece of wall art in\u00a0terracotta shades<\/a>, blush pinks, or add a bright\u00a0landscape piece<\/a>\u00a0to incorporate the natural world. Or brighten up the room with a piece of\u00a0gold wall art<\/a>\u00a0or a\u00a0metal wall art piece<\/a>. A\u00a0corrugated iron wall art piece<\/a>\u00a0can provide an instant industrial look that can suit either a modern or classic-style home.<\/p>\n Texture is important to soften an industrial look and help it feel more chic. Add a textured wall hanging, or toss a textured throw on the couch. Include a large, long-pile floor rug to add warmth to your space.<\/p>\n Pastels are becoming a hit when it comes to modern interior colour schemes, and we\u2019re not just talking about the kids\u2019 rooms! Creamy pinks, lilacs and mint greens are becoming vastly popular in the interiors world. And the look doesn\u2019t need to be overly feminine, either. Millennial pink or blush pink can look great paired back with industrial greys or black and white.<\/p>\n Likewise, midnight blues, purples, ruby reds and other jewel tones can provide a dream-like ethereal mood, especially when paired with metallics.<\/p>\n Get the look:<\/em><\/p>\n We hope these interior colour schemes have provided the inspiration you need to create a much-needed sanctuary.
