Colour pop crush

So, you’re drawn to a midcentury tone or two? Well, you’ve come to the right place as these saturated shades are ideal for splashing on a chimney breast or sofa for a dash of personality. ‘When adding an accent colour into your scheme, consider how you want to feel in the space. If your predominant palette is green and you want something punchy, choose a saturated tone that’s directly opposite on the colour wheel (a vibrant pink), whereas if you’re after a more sedate pairing, look next door on the wheel and bring in a tranquil blue. Keep 60 per cent of your scheme the main colour, 30 per cent the secondary tone and 10 per cent a contrasting accent, for a balanced approach,’ advises Joanna Thornhill, Interiors Stylist, Writer and Author of The New Mindful Home, published by Laurence King
