Family friendly ECLECTIC

One of the simplest ways to create a space that’s warm and welcoming is to use colour. While minimalism is very adult, eclectic decorating is definitely more kid appropriate, as it’s the opposite of precious! You don’t have to go too bold or bright, just enough to imbue your space with a bit of fun. Start with a jumping point – here, it’s the rug providing a splash of colour across the floor – and then add detail. Build your scheme around your key pieces. The blue chairs inform the palette, with orange introduced as its opposite on the colour wheel, meaning it’s complementary. Again it’s all about shades – use tones to create cohesion.
