Two Tone: Why you should experiment with colour

Application of colour is what defines our style and the use of two-tone colour has been hugely popular this season. From the fashion catwalks, right through to our much-loved interiors; the entire design industry has embraced the use of two-tone palettes.  

This trend has opened up an exciting spectrum of possibilities. Why not mismatch your sofa cushions so the colours completely contrast your sofa? Why not introduce an eclectic new paint colour into a room which has previously lived a calming, neutral life? Why not mix and match your lighting scheme with statement, bold colours?

Here’s what you need to do to apply this trend to your existing lighting scheme.

Firstly, you must overcome the fear of getting it wrong!! It is ever so easy for us to shy away from strong use of colour and stick with the more familiar grey tones that we’ve all grown to love. As a starting point, our best advice would be to head online and read as many interior blogs as you can; featured below is the lovely French for Pineapple with her sitting room styling. 

Once you’re feeling inspired, order fabric samples.

At the Light Shade Studio, we offer fabric samples at the click of a button. It is so important to see fabric colours in real life before committing to a colour scheme, especially if you are contemplating two-tone colours. Our silk palette has a depth of colour which simply cannot be appreciated without being seen first.

Our shades can be ordered in any of our luxurious silk palette colours, most of them can also be specified with a two-tone design; meaning you can create a trendy shade which entirely suits your home styling. Why not be bold and embrace our citrus brights or mix a hint of colour into more neutral tones?

The combinations of colours we can offer are vast, which makes it so easy to create a colourway which suits your home styling. Our shades are all lovingly and individually handcrafted and most importantly they are made right here, in England. Therefore, our bespoke lead times are desirable with most of our orders being fulfilled within three weeks.

So why play it safe, when you can have so much fun with two-tone? Your much-loved table lamps and feature lighting can experience a remarkable restyle with our colourfully luxurious handmade shades. Play around with proportions, maybe try adding a statement and sizeable shade to a simplistic table lamp? But most importantly, visualise your colour choices based on what you enjoy and what brings you happiness. These are two of the key emotions that you should inject into your interiors, so that they will be reflected throughout your home. A balance of style and significant colour will help achieve captivating longevity of your home décor, so go on, experiment with two-tone and colour!!
