The design journalist and author Amy Moorea Wong is an expert in the interior. In order to decipher the secrets behind a successful palette, she selects her favorite programs and breaks them off, from the WoW moments to the hidden details and everything in between.
Am I in the area of sitting down or eating a magical, mossy wilderness at sunset? The two-in-one combination of this room is an adventure in decoration with color. Its structured, dark green-yellow walls that merge the amusement of “midnight in the forest” with the decadence of “dinner-is-served, Madam”.
This is the time when a painted blanket comes to your own. With an urgent color. With a stained has-it-alway-like-diese texture. The hero shadow here is both subtly and across souls, and as a 360-degree all-round tone, it not only becomes more striking, but also more transported. Am I still inside? Am I still on planet Earth? Am I still alive or do I float in a new dimension only in a sea of color? (It is true, abstract art can push it into the more distant conclusions.)
The room is a visual festival, your eyes dance from one interest to another.

Whatever her mood was when we went to this dining room, it has now changed. The space of Moreton Bay from Bauwerk Color's Moreton Bay Fig. The room immediately makes you feel introspective, nervous and how you may start writing a kind of poem.
“The palette is moody and atmospheric. We wanted something rich and fat, since the room is mainly used in the evening with candles or low-level lighting,” say the creators of the house, Angelica and Richard Squire, founder of London interior design, studio squire.
“The color makes the room cozy and yet decadent. Dark Green is a very personable, simple color from which they have to be surrounded, and a calm and peaceful mood is caused while it delivers the impact.”

This is the exact Limeshash color that Studio Squire uses – have it in your own scheme for an atmospheric feeling.

Riva 1920 Skynatura Plank Table
Let yourself be inspired by Ed Kysers dining table and combine a deep walnut top with dramatic black legs.
Supporting colors are gently and in a way brought in a way with the radar. Our eyes can lead us to the dreamlike world of the painter Ramon Enrich, which gives us the most lively color in the room, a piece of aquablau.
The sound is fresh, lifts the heaviness of the room and brings a shot of life. Then there is the other non-moss green color, the mustard of the shy lampshades. While you only spy a little, bring the colorful depth as stains of urgently needed warmth and cosiness for this inviting quality.
The medium -sized natural materials that did not tick the color box is certainly considered a personality in this room. The walnut table (from Ed Kyser) indicates the tone, a plate of deep walnut, which creates the room in the top and bottom and conveys a feeling of magnificent sophistication.
The decision to decorate with Brown comes to itself, whereby the earthen landscape of art acts as another group of rich brown, this time in another plane, while the coordinating chocolate brown of the rattan lampshades pulls the color in three-dimensions to give it the rule over the room.

A brighter – but still deep – green from Little Greene helps to layer the scheme.

Gallery direct set of 2 eating chairs
Black-frame chairs imitate the base of the dining table, but a soft bouclé top adds a similar structural contrast to the original chairs and the patterned upholstery.
Pelican House
Globe verde carpet
Trust the Pelican House to create a carpet design that can stand out from a room full of courageous ideas – we love the subtle patterned border.
Black and white play both key rollers here, but they are practically unnoticed. Slimline are the stool and table legs, create a sea of black sticks, conjure up linearity and dance with the dark corners throughout the room and their own shadows.
The greatest presence of White comes from the carpet, which mostly hides shadows from direct light and thus mitigated and gets a similar effect on the walls. The individual, small presence of true, light white feels strangely wrong, as it is from another time. The roses. Compared to the rest of the room, their shiny vividity stands out like a kind of AI trick.
Surfaces: fat. Art: brave. Accent colors: fat. Even the brown wooden shadow: fat. And yes, the space overall feels wonderful, strongly brave, but in addition to this feeling it is also a quiet design and color harmony. And this is exactly the type of adorative decorative duality in which you are when you approach the colors and materials of nature with such poor serenity.
For further inspiration for the use of color and contrast in your room, I also explain how to use the color wheel in interior design so that you can unlock in your next design project in your next design project.
