TAKE THE PLUNGE

No matter how much we love a bold colour, the idea of using it on large items can be daunting. However, verdant hues are proven classics and whether you opt for them on a sofa or a sideboard, their ability to blend within a neutral palette means they always look great and never go out of style. Using them in surrounding accessories in natural materials makes leafy shades feel right at home. Bronwyn four-seater sofa, £1,399; Nordic coffee table, £299; both Furniture Village
