MELLOW YELLOW

Try repetitions of contrasting colours in multiple prints and shades to create a dynamic and tactile look

Using bright colour in an elegant manner is a hallmark of interior designer Kim Stephen, whose own bedroom features a blend of blues and yellows that comes together in a thoughtfully chic scheme. The vibrant hues are offset by a range of textures including woven baskets and gleaming metal and mirrors; this is a bold and energising space perfect for “morning people”.

Try repetitions of contrasting colours in multiple prints and shades: the blue fabric in which the headboard is upholstered here, combined with pillows in a yellow stripe, would look disjointed were it not for the anchoring touches of solid blue and yellow. The artworks above the headboard are a perfect touch.
