When thinking up a cohesive colour scheme, it’s easy to go down a path of neutrals or a safe tonal spectrum. However, a boldly creative colour combination will fashion a much stronger connection through a modern interior, just like the two intriguing home designs we feature here today. Each measuring under 85 sqm (900 sqft), these home interiors come alive under rich green and blue accents. Our first tour is an industrial style space, where a hint of tan and muted copper join the palette to complement ruddy exposed brickwork. The colour palette explodes with pink and bright yellow additions in our other featured abode, where art deco inspired elements help shape a daring family home.
This 82.5 square metre home design features an industrial style interior with exposed brickwork walls. Traditional wainscotting has been added around the lower portion of the walls to style a smooth, sophisticated finish that will take a pristine coat of deep green paint. Square coffee tables tie in with the square panel moulding.

Measuring 83.2 square metres, this daring home design belongs to a small family. In the living room, we’re introduced into a boldly split red and green interior scheme, where an unusual sofa design changes colour halfway.

The decor palette quickly incorporates a burst of bright yellow in a set of round side tables by the couch, and along the edge of a dividing wall that supports the TV. An art deco-inspired metalwork screen opens up the top of the dividing wall to accept light from the adjacent kitchen diner.

Multicoloured dining room pendant lights also shine through the metalwork and stained glass room divider, creating beautiful colourplay between the two. Yellow upholstered dining chairs add a bright buzz around a grey terrazzo dining table.

Contrasting pink and green kitchen cabinets join the bold colour party.
