Geometric designs are big news this year and can be applied to almost any surface. Paint stripes freehand or cut a squared stencil from card to create a simple repeating chequerboard design. In bathrooms or kitchens, ensure your designs withstand the elements by choosing pure acrylic emulsions complete with an anti-fungal formula.
Offset a soothing combination of aqua and caramel with bold splashes of vibrant blue, to add depth and interest to the scheme. Avoid clutter and opt for strong lines, modern, minimalistic furnishings fashioned from rich dark woods and plain floorcoverings or painted boards.
Update an existing neutral scheme by painting a single feature wall in the warmest of caramels. Use masking tape to ensure crisp lines, add soft furnishings in the coolest of aquas and finish with textured natural flooring for a look that is easy to live with, yet bang up to date.
