Whether you live in monochrome heaven or a home that prefers a little colour, there’s no denying the significant role that tone and texture play in the world of interiors. With the ability to bring life, interest and mood to a space, these two elements are important considerations when designing any interior.
When creating your palette, try to keep it tonal. Complementary shades will ensure that colours and accessories harmonise with each other not ‘fight’ for attention.
Try thinking of colours in ‘shades’ that are ‘related’ but individual, this will assist you with combining items of technically the same colour (i.e. grey) in different shades which will create a beautiful tonal effect that is understated yet rich in style.
Working with different materials and layering fabrics ensures that the space doesn’t feel unloved or lack soul.
Perfect the art of layering and you’ll be able to create a warm, inviting space with depth and interest.
Just remember when you are working with a mix of textures, tonal consistency is key. This will ensure your space is one of understated luxury.
