This blog post was updated 19th January 2017 I love colour in the home – from my bright red rug that welcomes guests into the hallway to my purple sofas and colourful artwork on the walls. But I seem to be in a minority. That’s not to say that my home is a blinding clash of colours – it is a relaxing space with neutral walls (French Grey and Slaked Lime from Little Greene<\/a> are my favourites) and a mix of contemporary oak floors and natural stone tiling.<\/p>\n I know the benefits of floor tiles that are made from natural materials even though caring for natural stone tiles<\/a> can be a pain (and I’m wondering whether I should have taken more notice of the benefits of porcelain tiles because I’m not a big fan of high maintenance products even though the limestone flooring is beautiful). I also know how important neutral walls and major pieces of furniture are to serve as a good backdrop for any type of design scheme. As an added bonus tiled floors can make your home more allergy friendly. However, I know from experience if all I had in my home were natural materials and neutral or muted colours that I would find in bland and uninspiring.<\/p>\n So do yourself a favour and find some colour for your home. If you have neutral sofas and try a few colourful cushions: lime green, aubergine, red, whatever takes your fancy. They are the perfect way to start introducing colour without breaking the bank (check our Margo Selby’s fabulous designs<\/a> if you want to splash out a bit).<\/p>\n Cushions also work for bedrooms with neutral linen as do towels for clinical looking bathrooms. A splash of colour really can make all the difference.<\/p>\n You might also be interested in reading:<\/p>\n Being Creative With Bathroom Tiles<\/a><\/p>\n Marble Tiles in The Kitchen<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I love colour in the home – from my bright red rug that welcomes guests into the hallway to my purple sofas and colourful artwork on the walls.
