How Do You Choose a Feature Colour?
A feature colour should support the room rather than overpower it. The best choice usually connects with the existing palette, furnishings, and mood you want the space to have.
Section 1
Start with the main room colours
A feature colour works best when it feels related to the wider scheme. Pulling tones from flooring, fabrics, artwork, or furniture often creates a more cohesive result.
Section 2
Think about balance
The stronger the feature colour, the more important it becomes to balance the rest of the room. Supporting neutrals and materials help stop it feeling disconnected.
Section 3
Consider the room’s focal point
A feature colour usually works best when applied where the eye is already meant to land, such as behind a bed, fireplace, shelving wall, or dining area.
Section 4
Sample before deciding
Accent colours can feel very different once they cover a full surface. Test areas are especially useful when working with bold or dark tones.
