Contrast doesn’t have to mean introducing a bold colour.
You can create just as much visual interest by putting different finishes, textures, shapes and materials alongside one another.
Think smooth against textured, matt beside something with a little sheen, curved furniture against straighter architectural lines, or warm timber alongside metal.
It’s these differences that give the eye somewhere to go and help stop a room feeling flat - even when you’re working with a very simple colour palette.
