Vary your colour shades

For the finishes, furniture, and accent pieces that you
choose, make sure to vary the shades of your chosen
colour. This will not only work to add visual interest to the
space, but will help, too, to make it feel larger. If you are
painting your walls, pick a feature wall and paint it a dark
shade within the palette you’re working with.

This bedroom, by LUX Design, has
chosen gray as the colour for its
monochromatic theme. Take a look
at the varying shades of gray used.
The headboard is the lightest gray, the
bedspread a medium gray, and the wall
behind it is painted a dramatic dark gray.
