Yellow
In this space, the colour yellow has the right amount of saturation to create a soft and soothing-looking interior. The subtle wall colour, textured here, makes a good background shade that goes well with the dark-brown furniture.

Orange
A little orange goes a long way in energising a space, and in this room, a lighter shade of this hue lifts the look of the space without looking too OTT. Plus, in a room full of dark wood furniture and light wood flooring, orange makes for a complementing companion.

Maroon
Against the deep-maroon textured wall, the brown wooden desk adds layering to the dark colour scheme. The surrounding white walls help balance the play of strong hues inside the home office, and the sunlight streaming in keeps the interior light and cool.

Grey
A warm grey wall colour is a good neutral alternative to a pure white or cream that can sometimes feel too sterile. In this room, the wall paint offers just the right amount of contrast to the dark wooden four-poster bed, without losing its identity.
