Create a family room with dynamic contrast

Create a scheme with contrast to give your living room a new look

Give a neutral living room a warm update by adding subtle hints of orange, earthy red and green. Follow these steps to get the look:

Opt for two-tone cushions and curtains
Fabrics and cushions in contrasting earthy tones are essential for this scheme. Fill the sofa with a mixture of colourful cushions and striped fabrics for curtains and blinds.

Create a zoned area
A natural rug with plenty of texture will look great on a neutral carpet and help define the seating area.

Add in the details
Plenty of bowls, vases, lamps and picture frames in punchy earthy tones will finish off the scheme and add to its warm look.
