We’re all inspired by other people’s decorating schemes. If you’ve fallen in love with a room you’ve seen on our site or in a magazine your sense of colour will tell you that the colours co-ordinate, but to reproduce the look, do some analysis of how this harmony is achieved.
Look at how much of the total area of the room each colour takes up. If a colour is on the floor or walls, then that’s a substantial area, and you can use that sort of proportion in your room.
If a colour’s just used on a vase, a rug and a couple of other small accessories, then to get the same effect that’s how little of the room you should use the colour in, too.
