PRINT, PATTERN & COLOUR

Black and white go together perfectly, and they’re so classic that you can make your statement by mixing and matching very bold prints. They work with almost any colour: fuchsia, Chanel red, yellow, peony pink… the choice is yours.

For our take on this look, we’ve opted for this season’s on-trend colour, teal, and a smoky blue. You could try pairing geometrics together (like Cole & Son’s hexagonal wallpaper and the Eichholtz Thistle rug), or go really bold and mix geometrics with House of Hackney’s Troop wallpaper. 

This look isn’t for the faint-hearted, but if done right, it will brighten up your life while remaining stylish. The trick lies in working with a predominantly white base, and throwing lots of bright, beautiful colour on top of it. Start with a strong, bold base – like Eichholtz’s geometric rug in black and white – then work in fun, whimsical prints like the bird and palm motifs we’ve suggested here.

Keep your colour palette consistent, too: we’ve chosen similarly strong shades, but this would also work with white topped with prints in pretty pastels.

This look sees folk, craft and tribal prints come together, creating a striking balance between organic and geometric forms. What brings these elements into harmony is their shared colour palette. We’ve gone for sunset shades of pink, red, coral and orange – they’ll look fab on a white base. We see this working well with a white sofa, white walls, a hessian or jute rug underfoot, atop which sits one of those Mandarin coffee tables in black or pale wood.
