We’re often told that light shades such as white, grey and cream make a room look big. No wonder it’s so rare to find a room that boasts of intense splashes of colour. Interior decorators normally avoid shades that are not the norm, lest the room end up looking bad.
But guess what? There are ways around this.
The right shades and right amounts of flashy colours can add more character to a room than anything else, that too without putting too much of a strain on your pockets. Compiled from Oprah.com, here is a list of six modern colour combinations you can play with, the next time you happen to be decorating.
Hitting the home run with home décor
1) Black and white:
We get it…black isn’t really the colour you want to see when you wake up. But it can add a great deal of warmth to a room and provide a great backdrop for pictures and paintings. White – the colour of purity – is more luminous when paired with black so why not go retro with this combination?
2) Black, white and yellow:
Want to give your black and white room a cheerful twist? How about a nice, warm and saturated yellow? It’ll not only break the monotony of the walls but bring in a modern vibe as well. In fact, you can use virtually any bright, neon shade in place of the yellow to achieve this look.

3) Light pink and emerald
This combination is as eye-catching on the wall as it is in desi wedding attire. The light pink makes for the ideal accent colour to a deep, bottle-green or emerald shade. If you like, keep the walls green and do them up with floral pink upholstery only.
4) Light pink with vibrant maroon
Just as emerald and light pink complement each other, a deep and sultry maroon has the same effect. Imagine a room with wooden flooring, pretty pink fabrics and bright plum walls. Love it? We told you so!
5) Blue, white and grey
Boys’ rooms have traditionally always been blue, ever since we can remember. But gone are the days of boring baby blue walls and white bedding. Modern boys need modern colours and that’s where this combination comes in. Best part about this colour scheme is that you can switch up the colours as you like. Want dark blue walls with white and grey upholstery? Go for it. Want grey walls with dark blue fabrics? Why not!
Decor: Design that’s actually within reach
6) Beige and copper green
If you don’t feel like experimenting too much, opt for this classic combo. The beige adds elegance to a living space like no other colour can, especially when structured with a solid but easy-on-the-eyes teal, turquoise or copper green.
