We love taking a peek into the homes of clever creatives such as knit designer Rikke Gravengaard. Her unique townhouse shows how sweeping your home with colour can make a serious statement.

Use colour to make it yours

If you’re partial to colour, don’t just stick to greys, creams and whites simply because they’re the norm. Explore your imagination (and local paint shops) to discover the wild array of colours that can inspire a brand-new interior. Adding your personal touch creates a unique and special place for visitors to admire and, most importantly, for you to relax in. “Don’t be afraid of colour and do not be afraid to stand out,” Rikke says.

Let your colour choices create a mood
