Bold interior design and style ideas

Sometimes a burst of bold pattern is all you need to give your décor a lift.

So many people forget to include window treatments when they’re planning a new look, when in fact, windows take up a huge amount of space within your room, and are an ideal canvas for you to express your creativity.

The only rule with bold pattern is to make sure the print you choose picks up one or more colours from the room.  

Colour not only influences your mood and mindset, it helps add personality and character to a space too.

When choosing the colour palette for this bright kitchen space, Gemma went for shades of lime green and orange for a naturally refreshing feel.

The bold pops of colour contrast wonderfully with the white Wooden blind, for a finishing look that’s cheerful and happy but also fresh, crisp and clean.

Here’s a great example of a room where all of the design elements have been carefully considered to achieve a cohesive look.

Vertical blinds in a rich mossy hue follow the curve of this beautiful bow window and pick up the forest green tones from the feature wall mural.

Copper and rich ochre accents add a luxe edge to this modern rustic look.  

Custom colour shutters can bring a fun feel to any space, so they're a great choice for children's spaces.

Stylist and brand consultant Erica Davies matched the wooden shutters in her family’s playroom to the exact shade of her green stair carpet, creating an inspirational room packed with personality while still feeling connected to the rest of the house.

If you want to truly embrace a maximalist look, then clashing colour and pattern is essential. In this wonderful living room, the base palette consists of pink, gold and white.

Strong geometric patterns and shapes feature strongly throughout, but the magic ingredient in great maximalist styling is to create visual contrast.

For example, counter the edgy look of the curtains with a soft furnishings, and second, pair a modernist boxy sofa with a curvaceous gold table.
