1. Jewel Tones
If you prefer a more opulent mood for your abode, try accents in bold jewel tones, which can add a shimmer of glamour to your home. “I love playing with jewel tones because they’re so rich and vibrant,” says Julia Kong, the group brand and marketing head for Acacia Fine Fabrics. “Take a rich ruby wing chair with white piping, for instance—it will look beautiful when placed against dark wooden furniture with gold embellishments.”
For a punchy colour contrast, Kong also suggests pairing a lively jewel-toned turquoise curtain with a yellow pastel armchair. “Try combining deep, strong jewel tones with more neutral-coloured fabrics, as this helps to maintain a sense of equilibrium within the space.”
