Using strong colours is often an effective way of distracting the eye from an awkward shaped room or perhaps an unattractive view. Bold colours used for the main pieces of furniture, curtains or blinds will stand out intensely against pale coloured walls - it’s best to not mix brightly coloured walls and furnishings, select one thing or the other. The Eclectics Wing Nut Chilli Roman Blind will assume a major roll in any room, especially with matching ornaments and accessories lavishly scattered wherever possible.

Metal blinds used as living room blinds in brilliant colours will work wonders in a cramped area, metal venetian blinds being particularly adapt at pepping up a dull room as the shiny surface of the slats will reflect light around – good artificial light being essential to maintain the dramatic feel, ensuring that the room does not appear dark and compressed. Even in the bathroom Kingfisher Metal Venetian Blind will stand out with great clarity, the other coloured details perhaps in the tiles or even the towels will take on their own special brilliance when highlighted by the fabulous colourings of this made to measure blind.

Pleated blinds or Roller blinds for instance the Acacia Buttercup and the Bali Rosewood Pleated Blind although adding a bright splash of colour, will not be extravagant enough in a larger area. This is where flamboyant curtain fabrics dressed on a high profile curtain pole such as the Swish Glittered Metal Beaded Ball 28mm Curtain Pole Set will enhance the richness of the colours. Curtain holdbacks and sophisticated curtain pole accessories give a distinguished finish to your curtains, particularly if they are in the same colour tones – take a look at the Rolls Rotini Wood Collection Tiebacks for instance, ideal for eyecatching bedroom curtains.

Mixing colours is really a question of putting together the right colour tones which will enhance one another rather than clash.
