When redesigning a room, start with a color palette by selecting wallpapers or feature colors first, then choose complementary shades. A feature wall can create impact without overwhelming the space, and patterns can be mixed as long as they complement each other. Consider the materials and textures used, keeping practicality in mind for maintenance and care.

The first thing to think about when planning a redesign of a room is the
colour pallette. Look through a paint colour chart, or through the paint
selection on a DIY website to browse your options. Look at wallpapers or
feature colours f irst if you’re wanting to include them in the decor, and
then pick accompanying colours afterwards. If your wallpaper or feature
colour is bright or has a bold pattern pick a softer, lighter colour to
accompany it. This will help that feature colour or wallpaper ‘pop’
• Note: A ‘Feature wall’ is the perfect way to add impact to a room
using patterns, textures and bright colour, without making it
overpowering. Your feature wall should draw the eye, and works best
if used on a wall that has a distinguishing structural feature (like a
fireplace), is the largest/immediate wall as you enter the room, or is
the wall which distinguishing furniture pieces will be placed against.
• Patterns don’t have to be matching in order to be balanced. If the
colours compliment each other then you can make use of several
different patterns in your room. If you’re using patterned soft
furnishings, such as cushions, it may look more balanced if the
furniture itself is a plain, soft colour (and vice versa).
• Different materials or textures also play a part in how everything ties
together. This could be anything from the types of woods used, to the
soft furnishings and even whether you decide on carpet, tile, laminate
or using rugs as floor coverings.
• Note: Always be sure to keep in mind the practical aspects of the
materials that you choose. Long-pile carpet or rugs will need extra
care, whereas wood f loors are easier to clean, and textures such as
velvet and suede need extra attention to upkeep.
