When you’re adding colour to a room, don’t just think about the shade. The material you introduce it through can make a difference too.

A rich colour in velvet will feel very different from the same colour in linen, ceramic or glass.

Try combining:
• Velvet for softness and depth
• Linen for a more relaxed finish
• Ceramic for a solid accent of colour
• Coloured glass for something lighter and more translucent
• Natural wood to add another layer of warmth

Mixing materials gives a room depth and interest without everything having to match.

You don’t need to redecorate an entire room to bring richer, warmer colours into your home.

Whether your starting point is a neutral room, a cooler palette of blues and greens or an already warm and earthy scheme, it’s about choosing the right version of those richer colours to work with what you already have.

In our latest blog, we’re looking at how to introduce deeper shades through colour, pattern and different materials — and how to weave them into your existing interior rather than starting again.

If your room already has warm neutrals, creams or earthy tones, you’ve got a lovely base for introducing deeper, richer colour.

Look at shades that build on the warmth already there:
• Rust
• Burnt orange
• Terracotta
• Rich chocolate brown
• Warm maroon

You can be bolder with these colours if the room already has a warm foundation. Try a larger area of colour through a rug, curtains or an occasional chair, or combine several related shades rather than choosing just one. The result can feel rich and layered while still sitting naturally with your existing scheme.

Stripes are a great way to bring a new colour into a room without it feeling like it’s suddenly appeared from nowhere.

Look for a stripe that combines a colour you already have with one you’d like to introduce. A cushion containing your existing blue alongside a warmer maroon, for example, creates a connection between the two.

And stripes don't all create the same effect. A fine stripe can be subtle, while a broader stripe will make much more of a statement.

Use them on cushions, throws, rugs or even curtains depending on how much impact you want to make.

As the evenings draw in and we start getting cosied up for the winter ahead, our living rooms become somewhere we naturally want to settle into and relax.

Creating that feeling isn’t necessarily about changing the whole room. Comfortable furniture, tactile materials, considered colour and personal touches can all help make a space feel calmer and more inviting.

Here are 5 suggested elements to help you create that relaxing space. Read here 🔽 for inspiration:

There’s something special about being trusted with a space where other people will come together, spend time and create memories.

We loved working with the team behind Real Coffee and Auction Room to turn their initial ideas into two very different finished spaces — and we particularly love that they’re already thinking about the next project!

“Working with Sallie on both my coffee shop, Real Coffee, and my bar, Auction Room, was an absolute game-changer. I came to her with some initial ideas - which she understood completely - and then promptly tore them up and came back with something infinitely better.

From the very first mood board to the final brushstroke, Sallie delivered two truly stunning spaces. She has an incredible eye for detail and ensured that every element of the design was executed perfectly by the fitters and decorators. Nothing was left to chance, and the results speak for themselves.

I genuinely can’t wait to work with her again on the next project.”

Good lighting isn’t just about being able to see what you’re doing. Using different light sources around a room can completely change its atmosphere, particularly as the evenings get darker.

Rather than relying on one central ceiling light, think in layers:
• Ceiling and pendant lights for general illumination
• Floor lamps to bring light down into the room
• Table lamps for softer pools of light
• Wall lights to add another level of ambient lighting
• Picture lights to highlight artwork and create interest
• Under-cabinet or shelf lighting for a more subtle glow

You won’t necessarily need every type. Choose a combination that works for how you use the room and gives you options for different times of day.

Want to bring some autumnal warmth into your home with richer colour? Start by looking at the colours you already have.

If your room has plenty of blues and greens, choose warmer shades that still have something in common with that cooler palette. Plums, berry tones and cooler maroons can add the richness and warmth you’re looking for without feeling disconnected from the rest of the room.

Start small with a cushion, throw, artwork or accessory and repeat the new tone in a couple of places. You’re adding another layer to your existing scheme, not starting again.

Good interior designs brings together different elements within a space to complement each other, and create a cohesive design. These might be big bold colours or pieces throughout, but often it's the small touches. You might not notice them individually, but together the form something special.

We love the example of this client project. The main colour of the room is a beautiful neutral tone with a statement black glass table. It's the small touches of brass woven through the room that make a huge difference. The Aria Dining Chairs from my furniture are gorgeous and the brass frames brings out the picture frames, light fittings and even the curtain ties.

How do you want your room to feel?

When you’re thinking about changing a room, it’s easy to start with how you want it to look. But before you choose colours, furniture or finishes, think about how you want it to feel.

Calm and restful? Warm and welcoming? Light and uplifting? Somewhere that encourages everyone to sit down and stay a little longer?

Once you know the feeling you’re trying to create, your design decisions have a purpose. Colour, lighting, texture, furniture placement and even the amount of visual space in the room can all help create the atmosphere you want.
