There's an abundance of botanical references in this light and airy living room. The crisp apple green makes the perfect companion to accents of fuchsia and the pale browns of jute and rattan. This is a great example of how to introduce colour without splashing it across your walls.

Colours found on opposite sides of the colour wheel, like red and green, are known as 'complementary' colours because they have a high contrast between them. A bright red and green combination would be quite saturated and vibrant, so this mauve and sage mix is a nice muted variation on the theme.

Blue has some regency connotations that lend themselves to decorating dramatic spaces with an old-meets-new quality. The brass and mustard yellows are a brilliant partner, and a third match here would be a postbox red. Note that this living room benefits from a lot of natural light, which helps to lift the deep indigo blue on the walls.

Choosing the right colour for your living room can carry a bit more weight than other design decisions because it's a room that is so well used, and often so multifunctional. Where the colour palette in your bedroom can largely be dictated by soothing shades, or a small bathroom can be a spot for experimentation, a living room needs to support moments of relaxation, work and entertaining for the whole family.

While a standard sofa bed uses a metal-action frame (a bed frame and mattress folded within its body that pulls out when needed, occasionally risking a pinched finger in the process), with click-clack sofa beds, both the seat and back fold forward to create a flat bed.

We love the idea of using a single colour to create a cohesive gallery wall. To prevent it from looking too uniform, vary the size of your artwork as well as the thickness of the mounts. You could experiment with different woods on your frames too – deep blues work wonderfully with pale wood frames.
