Click on the small images to discover how to get this look.

Feeling bold? Want a slightly different take on a retro theme? Then experiment with shades of red, and explore Crimson Tide. Dramatic, passionate, but also slightly quirky, this trend takes a strong red and mixes it with its adjacent colours in funky, slightly irregular circles to form a harmonious colour group.

With a strong, deep red as a base colour – acrylics are great for a durable finish that will keep its colour brilliance for longer – try shades of fuchsia, purple and pink in funky, slightly irregular circles to create an individual take on a 1960s theme. Great for a feature wall – the illusion of movement is conveyed in a fascinating, slightly hypnotic way. To balance the look, contrast this arresting style with more neutral colours – grey and beige work beautifully. Accessorize with furniture that plays on the retro theme – curvey white furniture works well combined with a geometric-style cushion.
