Harmony is key to any design scheme, however contrast is just as important for creating a space with visual interest. Pair elements with opposing features – such as striking color combinations, playful shapes and accents, and rich textural variation – to achieve balance and unique style.

While our range is specifically designed to mix and match with ease, it can also offer beautiful combinations and contrasts. High-quality pure linen lends an adaptable backdrop for patterns and bold touches, and starting with a timeless colour palette as your foundation will take the effort out of creating an inviting bedroom, tablescape, or living space.

Opposites attract

Consider how to offset your table setting or bedscape with contrasting walls or furnishings. Decorating with colours from the opposite side of the spectrum (red and blue or purple and orange, for example) can help to highlight your favourite hue or feature in a room. If you'd prefer a tonal scheme and still want to make an impact, create one cohesive look with variations of the same shade (blues or browns, for example) and juxtapose them against walls that are painted maroon, or go for a monochrome mix for a simple yet striking look.

Varied textures 

Furnishings rich in texture are an effective way to imbue depth and interest in your interiors, and introducing a few different varieties can really bring your look to life. The box weave of our Flocca Linen Blanket layered over our textural pure linen duvet cover lends irresistible tactile appeal.

Playful shapes

Pillows are a quick and easy way to bring a contrasting element to your bedroom or living space, with myriad shapes, sizes and colors available to mix and match. Large European pillows add interest to traditional standard pillows or step outside the square with a rectangular Basix Stripe Linen Cushion as a finishing touch to personalise your look. To contrast boxy shapes and angular lines, soft curves can also be introduced through furniture, artwork and mirrors.
