Colour schemes that we love

We really love colour here at 247 so we thought it about time we shared with you a few of our favourite colour combinations. Let’s take a look at 5 of the very best that work in virtually any setting.

Pale pink and grey

The sombre and timeless nature of light stone grey makes the perfect bed fellow for the light and breezy feel of a pale pink. The contrast is striking and yet the overall scheme is relaxed and understated. Ideal if you want to add something a little different to your home without overpowering your senses with stronger pastel colours.

Grey and yellow

This may sound like a slightly unusual marriage of colour but when you see it come to life you’ll agree with us that it’s truly a match made in heaven. The relaxing nature of the grey works well with the vibrancy and vitality of the yellow. If you make the grey dark then make the yellow brighter to compensate. That way the two colours will always look stunning side by side.

Navy and mustard

If there were ever a colour that has stood the test of time and never gone out of fashion then it has to be navy. When you match it with a rich and vibrant mustard you’ll be able to really bring out the full depth of this classic shade of blue. Keep the coverage of each shade approximately equal so that neither dominates the room and you’re sure to fall in love with the final result.

Apple green and plum

If you really love natural shades then look no further than apple green and plum. Keep apple green as the main colour so that you can retain that light and airy feel to your decor. The depth and richness of the plum will then come into its own as an accenting colour that adds clarity to the colour scheme.

Grey and white

Grey and white is very much the new black and white when you want a minimal scheme that softens the features of the room. Don’t make the grey too light, and avoid a brilliant white. Go for a stone grey and a white that has just a little hint of magnolia and you’ll be able to recreate that timeless country look that will instantly have you and your guests feeling at home and at ease.
