The different neutral tones here ensures there is no confrontational effect or clashing colours. The throwrug, drapes and wallpaper also add texture to the room.


The ceiling and floor designs in this room creates confusion and does not work so well.


Colour Selection Can Make or Break a Space In the picture above, the key elements of the design form associations throughout the space without one element or material dominating over another. Te carpet in the middle of the room helps to center the orientation of the furniture, but what is fundamental is the colour selection. By introducing a neutral tone, the colour does not create any confrontation with the two dominating colours, which are mainly white and black. Te neutral beige tone is further highlighted due to the contrast of the colours. Te furniture selection also brings balance to the room. Te white sofa set is complimented by the flooring and drapes, while the black furniture pieces accent the black wall-papered feature wall. Here we can see how giving simple consideration to the colours and how they go together can create such a marked difference to balance and appeal. So when we look at materials, consider how a mix of


different colours can create the most appealing or the most appalling of spaces in the home. Te next time you select materials for the home, always give thought to size, material and patterns, and how these would enhance the value and comfort level of the space. Above all, once you have selected the materials, consider how you can enhance your space even further to create the right mood, as a happy home really does create a happy life, better rental income and better asset appreciation.
