Uplift a scheme with tropical brights

Give a neutral room a fabulous lift with an injection of hot pinks and oranges

Simple steps to create the look -

  • Vibrant pinks and bright orange are a bold choice, but mixed with soft cream you can create a striking look that will bring life to your living room.

  • Use a brightly patterned wallpaper in the alcoves and keep the scheme calm by painting the rest of the walls in a co-ordinating cream.

  • Get a tropical feel by choosing cushions with a large floral motif.

  • Opt for modern furniture in walnut tones to add a sophisticated edge to the bright scheme.

  • Fill the room with lush, tropical flowers to heighten the colourful look.
