It’s easy to believe the old-school thinking that relaxing schemes must be kept neutral. All too often, a scheme which is too neutral or predominantly white can feel sterile – and that’s far from relaxing. There are more calming and, conversely, more vibrant ends of every colour scale. When we create a design for a client, we often start the scheme with a plain base of one significant item. Subsequently, we’ll introduce a feature pattern complemented by an array of more diminutive patterns. These may contrast or mirror the bolder pattern but will always work with it. This affords the opportunity to build and develop an interior design scheme and create an individual, eclectic mix. Working like this ensures a scheme can be developed but is grounded and never chaotic. It provides a way to introduce each and every client’s personal style into their rooms.
