What a pretty picture. This setting has burst out of it's walls and challenges you to do the same.
Outdoor living isn't always possible due to apartments, smaller sections and busy lives.
But, you can still get the feel of 'Outside In' through the use of impressive wallcovering solutions.
But first let's start with the design.
Analogous Colour Scheme
In my opinion this is one of the easiest colour schemes to master. It is great for creating warmth or a cooling effect and is often seen in nature. A good example is the colours of Autumn.
The Colour Wheel
There are many combinations of Analogous Colour Schemes they usually create a subtle, harmonious feeling.

Lights - Camera - Action
Step into another world a retreat, a sanctuary, a haven.
Using a Photo Mural can be a really effective way of infusing character into your home.
The pendants shown can be easily made into a feature light by sourcing a reclaimed piece of timber and allowing your electrician to turn them into a bespock lighting fixture. The strong horizontal line that this creates works well against the vertically inspired background. The pew l have found has vertical lines unlike the blog pew. However the back of the pew is largely covered by the cushions in the design.
Choice Cushion Choices
When you have a really high stud in your house horizontal lines can be a fantastic design tool for you to use.
They shout 'this is the scene - that is the backdrop', they bring the focus down and widen the room so it changes the proportions. The horizontal line element has been repeated through the style of shelving. The shelf l found below could have extra shelves added and a paint job to create a similar look.
Shelving & Collectables
Another theme that is richly displayed in the blog is the use of harmony through variety. This is a fascinating way to show collections of similar items that are dear to you and they make great focal points and conversation starters. Note how even throughout the collectibles displayed, the choices are largely within the colour palette.
Hint: If you look closely at the blog lighting, you will notice that we have used old paint cans as lamp shades. There are many different everyday objects that can be used in a similar way. Have a squize at the links below. It's great to let that kiwi ingenuity shine every now and then, take hold of your creative licence!
