Stylist’s tip
When using a bold statement wall colour keep your furniture and homeware selections aligned with the same aesthetic. Simple bold furniture shapes (such as the curves on the bedside and lamp) work well, as do oversized patterns and block colours that are a tint or tone of the wall colour.
