Adding colour is one of the quickest ways to change how a room feels, and accessories are the easiest, cheapest way to do it. Unlike paint, you can move them around or swap them when you fancy a change.
Where to shop: all the picks below are from Rockett St George, a UK home store known for bold, colourful and quirky homeware. It's the place to go for colourful, quirky pieces.
Tips for adding colour
- Pick two or three colours and repeat them around the room so it looks planned.
- Start small. Cushions, vases and candles are low-risk ways to try a colour.
- Mix textures. Velvet, glass and rattan make colours look richer.
- Use odd numbers. Groups of three look more natural on shelves and tables.
- Balance with neutrals. Bright pieces stand out more against calm walls.
