<p>There's actually no better colour combination than this one - balancing tranquil colours with bold accent walls. We recommend that you keep it simple by picking one or two items that you want to highlight in the room.</p><p>For example, in the living room, light grey walls will look nice with dark blue cushions or a bright yellow chair. If your walls are beige or white, you can add a bold-coloured sofa to make the room look lively. Metallic items can also add some spark. What you should avoid doing is falling for the temptation of adding more and more things - stop at a few so that the room does not look tacky and overcrowded.</p>
