Leaving walls as a blank white canvas allows bright furnishings to be the stars – a dramatic approach that deserves a round of applause.

BIT PARTS

Get closer to the action with a table of vibrant small pieces that provide a change of scale and focus. These rounded objects pick up on the curves behind, but avoid repetition by telling their own separate story in shapes and colours.

Large Rock vase in Honeycomb, £240; round Skipping Stone vase in Melon Swirl, £85; Boulder pepper grinder in Pink Guava, £260; oval Skipping Stone vase in Forest, £90, all Dinosaur Designs. Circle vase in Dark Red, £40, &Klevering at Amara. AU_34 floor-standing plant light, £599, Massimo Cappella Studio. Contour artwork, 1.1x 1.9m, £980, Formworks Studio

HOT SEAT

This red chair needs to take the lead, so paint the set white and surround it with strong supporting players each with a colour character of their own.

Paipai loveseat, £2,476, Lucidi Pevere at Ligne Roset Westend. Cushion in Echo in Bourgogne, £139.80m, Métaphores at Abbott + Boyd. Transparent speaker in White, £450, Transparent Sound at The Conran Shop. Muuto Halves side table, £299; Toulemonde Bochart Ettore rug, 200x 300cm, £1,512, both at Chaplins. Sign bedside table in high-gloss lacquer finish, £1,237, Studio Kairos at Lema. Divaar screen, £2,700, Kam Ce Kam at Monologue. Dipping large LED lamp, £1,052, Jordi Canudas for Marset at Aram. Large resin Modern Tribal platter, £240, Dinosaur Designs

FAMILY DRAMA

Love all your pieces equally for their shapes as well as their shades. If the shapes work together – as they do here, with an assembly of low-slung pieces – the colours will fall into line.
