Going For Bold

Tired of your ‘safe’ decor? Shake it up with a striking element or two

1 MASTER STROKE

This predominantly neutral dining area was lifted out of the ordinary with a contemporary artwork hung above a bright blue server. Combining complementary colours (on opposite sides of the colour wheel) always creates an impact.

2 GREEN QUEEN

Bold doesn’t necessarily have to be bright. Interior decorator Philippa Courtenay of Re-Inspire chose a textured wallpaper in a combination of moody greens that makes an impression in this guest bathroom.

3 OFF THE WALL

In a bedroom, the bed should be the focus of attention and an effective way to achieve this is with a dramatic headboard. Cheryl Herweg of Changing Spaces designed this eyecatching headboard to complement the patterned wallpaper.
