Leap into bold colour with these tips and tricks 

If you’re crazy for colour and partial to pattern, you’ll love the bold prints and vibrant hues in our collections. And if you want to be braver but don’t know how we’re here to help you get it right. Let's dive into some creative ways to bring bold looks to your living spaces.

Bold pattern

When it comes to pattern, start small with accessories like patterned cushions, throws, or artwork to introduce pops of personality. Then ramp things up with a patterned wallpaper or rug.

Remember, the key to success is balance.

Mix and match different patterns but make sure they share a common color palette or theme. Whether you prefer geometric, floral, or abstract, let your creativity flourish and create a space that truly reflects your style.

Bold architecture

If your home has bold architectural features, then your window dressings should ideally reflect the look and feel of the space.

This smart side extension has an industrial aesthetic, with exposed steel and polished concrete. 

Our innovative Day and Night blinds mirror these strong architectural features, with the option of motorised controls echoing the modernity of the space.  

 

Bold colour

Colour not only influences your mood and mindset, it helps add personality and character to a space too.

When choosing the colour palette for this bright kitchen space, interior stylist Gemma Gear went for shades of lime green and orange for a bold statement with a naturally refreshing feel.

The bold colours contrast wonderfully with the white Wooden blind, for a finishing look that’s cheerful and happy but also fresh, crisp and clean.

For me, maximalism feels like home. It’s a great way for me to show off my personality and add some life and vibrancy to a small space to give it a fresh new look.

Bold beginnings

Our custom colour shutters are a brilliant way to jump on the bold interior trend.

Our service lets you choose shutters in almost any colour you can think of from hot pink to sunshine yellow. It's ideal for matching shutters to the paint colour of your walls, your furniture or even just your favourite shade.

Stylist and brand consultant Erica Davies matched the wooden shutters in her family’s playroom to the exact shade of her green stair carpet, creating an inspirational room packed with personality while still feeling connected to the rest of the house.

Bold bathroom ideas

These striking blue dividing doors make a bold statement in this bathroom, forming a distinctive room divide.

Inside the bathroom it's best to choose from our shutters made from waterproof ABS for as they are resistant to moisture and changes in temperature.

They're really easy to wipe clean too making them perfect for rooms like this.

 

Bold combinations

For a really bold look, then clashing colour and pattern is essential. In this wonderful living room, the base palette consists of pink, gold and white.

Strong geometric patterns and shapes feature strongly throughout, but the magic ingredient in great maximalist styling is to create visual contrast.

For example, counter the edgy look of the curtains with soft furnishings, and second, pair a modernist boxy sofa with a curvaceous gold table.
