House & Home : Creating the Wow Factor.

By Simonea

As our house renovations continue, albeit very s l o w l y, (does anyone do house renovations quickly, apart from on television?!), I am really learning about putting rooms together, building up the layers, saying enough but not too much, making the right choices, creating the space that you want to live in....it's most definitely an art.
I have a room right now which is painted white but which I think actually needs more colour, I am leaning towards a colourful wallpaper....I just need to be bold enough!

I am working with wallpaper designers Graham & Brown this year & every month am featuring one of their design trends....this month it is "Eureka".
The Eureka trend involves all colours of the rainbow, but specifically using color blocking to create a bold statement in your room.
You could use a bright or patterned wallpaper on just one wall, make a feature of one color on a shelf or hang a large & colourful piece of artwork to really create a "wow" factor & focal point in the room.colour blocking in a kitchen can have a fantastic impact....
....and a very quick way to both update a room & add color & impact : add a contemporary rug or these fabulous tolix chairs
