An office is a space that is primarily functional, but that does not mean it shouldn't be aesthetically pleasing. Light and bright purples give a feminine touch with a calming aspect; in the office it is about being bold to create personality. To assist with the luxurious atmosphere, companion gold and other metallic’s that will add contrast and depth in darker shades. Select pieces of furniture that have ample storage to avoid clutter and finish with interesting display pieces to distract attention from unsightly office accessories.

The Bally Blonde
The Bally Blonde Canvas Print is clearly a rather simple yet elegant piece. Through severe contrast it stands out against warm and neutral colours with its almost harsh yet lax demeanour. It is a fantastic piece for contrast not only primarily with the colour wheel, but with character. This composition of wall art décor and the interior design along with the rocks displays an almost beach-like atmosphere, ideal for someone who wishes to live by the sea whilst maintaining a rather chic style within their home. However, this does not go without saying that any modern home looking for a slice of vintage would be greatly complimented by this piece.

The perfect match
Monochrome never goes
out of style and always looks stunning and effortless. It adds simplicity to any home and serves as the basis for
any interior style, making reinvention that much easier. Black and silver is a
winning combination; black creates the perfect backdrop while silver adds that
touch of elegance every home needs. Black and white can be a strong scheme to
begin with, so substituting fresh white with touches of grey and silver balances
for a smooth finish. Mirrored
pieces look great for this look and not only serve as a practical piece but
also open up the space. who doesn’t want the illusion of a larger room!

Keep it fresh
White has always been
crisp, fresh and timeless and is the best way to brighten up your home. White is versatile and is a great
starting point as it gives the illusion of a larger space and can be
incorporated into any home décor style and colour scheme. With an all white
scheme, it’s important to add in different textures; pair whites with grey and
ice tones or go for a bold statement and incorporate dark accents to add depth
and sophistication. In decorating your home, furnishings will play an even
bigger role in all white rooms as everything stands out! Add striking and
unique pieces and make them worth looking at.

White on White
Decorating
your home with white interiors is timeless, crisp and fresh and can brighten up
any room. An all white scheme looks inviting, effortless and gives the illusion
of a larger space and highlights everything around it. White is a very
versatile colour and is a great starting point as it can suit any taste or
style, from modern to traditional and anything in between. We’ve put together a
few pointers to get you started on the white trend.
Picking the right white
White
serves as a canvas for anything but white also has a lot of varying shades with
different undertones. If you want a crisp modern look, bright whites give the
space extra sharpness and adding furnishings with simple lines, smooth surface
and metallic’s will tie this look together. Warm whites soften areas and add a
sense of comfort and romance and work well with plenty of detail such as lace
and marble.White
can also be paired with pastels for a soft feminine feel or go for shiny
fabrics to add glamour and elegance to a room. Shiny apricot, peach or creams
are great combinations.
Add Texture
To
avoid a bland all white colour scheme, adding different textures is vital. Add
one colour to a white palette, a dark accent creates a clean and sophisticated
look and creates depth. Warm whites work best with cool tones such as chalk
grey and ice tones. Choosing
textured furnishings and objects in different tones is also key to creating a
warm and inviting atmosphere. Paint wooden floorboards in a cold white or add a
white wash to reveal glimpses of the timber tones and texture and create a
beautiful rustic feel to your home.
Accessorise
Furnishings and
decorative objects play a huge role, especially with an all white scheme as
everything stands out, so make sure its worth looking at. Go for pieces that
are striking and different to add impact and a wow factor to your living space.
One of the great advantages of white is that you can constantly create new
looks without updating the whole room. Accessorise with printed throw pillows
and play with different surfaces to create an interested and detailed interior.
Anytime you feel that the room needs a makeover, add bold accents or different
patterns.
