Lesson 3: Play with textures and shapes
Go beyond colour and consider shapes, textures—and even the weight of objects—when going for a complementary contrast. Here, a dark stain gives wooden furniture a weightier, more substantial feel and creates an interesting visual tension when offset by some lighter-coloured furniture.
Lesson 4: Bend the rules
Colour outside of the lines. An exuberant bloomer like the black-eyed Susan would hardly be one to dictate decor rules. Go beyond the simple black and yellow colour palette and consider those hues as a guide not a goal. Use a spectrum of both dark and light shades to create interest—yet still retain the drama.
