Use an accent colour in your living room

Adding an accent colour or two will give your room a stunning finish

How to create the look:

  • Choose an accent colour with impact, like hot pink or lime green, to add energy to your room

  • You don't need to add much - just a few accessories, a throw, or a piece of furniture like a footstool

  • Overall your accent colour should be no more than 10% of your total scheme. And if you're scared of going over the top, keep the look subtle with a few candles or flowers to add colour and a professional finish
