HOME fashion
Playful
décor
S
pring is just around the corner, and a time when the mind
wanders to vivid colours, floral patterns and cheerful interior design.
This year, turn your bright ideas into playful home décor. You change
your wardrobe seasonally. Why not do the same with your home’s
interior fashion? It is easy to do and believe it or not, doesn’t need
much more commitment than accent pillows, rugs, accents, draperies
and perhaps a little paint!
MAINTAIN
YOUR
INTENSITY
Colour intensity is an
essential element to
achieving harmony in your
space. Do not mix pastel
colours with rich jewel
tones or bright primary
colours. It rarely works.
Mixing stripes, checks and
floral patterns does work—
as long as you choose a
range of hues that play
nicely together.

FABRICS ARE
EASY AS 1-2-3
Fabric 1: The boldest fabric
statement in your space should
feature the largest scale pattern.
Fabric 2: Visually very different from
the first fabric choice, and about
half the scale. Choose a different
pattern (i.e. floral vs. ikat).
Fabric 3: The final pattern is a visual
bridge between your other pattern
choices, echoing the same colour
palette but with a distinct personality.
