Decorating with a hero colour is a great way to really make a room come to life, that's if it's done well and with a certain amount of restraint. At Madras Link, we love colour so we thought we'd share our top 3 tips on how to successfully decorate with a hero colour.
1. Less is more - choose a few conversational pieces for maximum impact. We love the mustard hero items in this styled room - the stool, woven rug, picture frames and cushion all work together to tell the mustard story without being overwhelmed by one block colour. Each item serves a specific functional or decorative purpose.
2. Team your hero colour with a couple of complimentary colours. The key to making your hero colour stand out is to team it with subtle complimentary colours. Here, the use of grey, black and earthy wood provides the perfect backdrop to make the mustard pop.
3. Texture, texture, texture. Mixing different textures makes for an interesting room. We love the way the hi sheen of the stool, the coarsely woven rug, the smooth lines of the photo frames and the introduction of natural materials such as the hemp cushion and wooden accents create a room that's visually enticing.
