4 ways to colour block in your space

On the wall

Want to transform your space with minimal effort? Paint a single wall (or even the ceiling) in a different colour. It’s simple but still striking, and adds a little touch of depth and drama to the room. 

Imagine a calming blue ceiling over a neutral room, or a vibrant red feature wall that demands attention. It’s an easy way to create a captivating focal point that sets the tone for your entire decor. And it doesn’t always have to be intense! You can use soft, similar tones and still get something unique. 

Shelf it

If you’re not keen on painting a whole wall, giving your kitchen or bathroom a fresh, modern look also works. Paint your cabinets in contrasting colours, or even look at painting the back panels of any open shelves you might have. 

Picture sleek, dark lower cabinets paired with crisp, white uppers, or vibrant teal shelves showcasing your favourite decor. It adds visual interest and also shows your personality and style – a win-win! 

Fabricate it

The colour blocks don’t just belong on the walls! An easy, low-commitment way to colour block is to mix and match furniture, cushions, throws and any other textiles you might have floating around a room. Picture a chic navy blue sofa paired with sunny yellow cushions, or a sleek coral throw draped over a turquoise armchair. 

A fresh edge

Looking for a fresh edge – literally? Paint your door frames or skirting boards in bold, contrasting colours. It’s a simple update, but it brings a lot of depth and character to a room, plus does a great job of highlighting architectural details.
