Bold expressions

From vibrant entertainment spaces to dazzling chill zones, we show how you can let patterns and colours do all the talking.
At Weylandts we try to bring you things no one else can find, pieces no machine can mass - produce. Once discarded village doors, our Chinese Elm Wood Stools are hand - made from distressed and time - aged timbers. Look at them. There is nothing grand about their design. Their beauty is their honesly. Each stool is unique in texture and full of character flaws. But 1 guess the most inspiring thing about these simple stools is that they demonstrate how the earths natural resources can be responsibly re - used to create things of lasting beauty.

Three colours blue

Featuring varying shades of oceanic blue, this little living room is packed with city sophistication. Inspired by her coastal surrounds, Interior Designer Camilla Fraser wanted to create an unconventionally bright seaside space thats anything but Cape Cod. The entire apartment has been refinished with limed, wide - plank oak flooring, off - white walls and tongue - - and - groove white ceilings. The simple blue and white scheme keeps the look fresh while shots of unexpected yellow add sunny accents.

Play with pattern

This living space boasts stunning features, loads of natural light and a fantastic inside - outside feel. Pastel colours such as the yellow of the sofa and light blue - grey of the chair add a sense of freshness to this neutral setting. Not just a random mish - mash of pattern and colour, this space works thanks to subtle details such as the grey pattern in the upholstery that tie in with the grey walls. The flower - inspired wooden floor shelf and pouffe with floral detail also enhance the theme. The trick, however, is not to overwhelm the space with one pattern type - mix it up by introducing some stripes and paisley prints, as seen on the various scatters. A bone colour rug also helps to lighten the dark floor while the glasstop coffee table gives the space a more contemporary feel.

Colour clash

Inspired by the rich textures and patterns of Middle Eastern, Mexican and Mediterranean tiles, spices and food, this bold red and green scheme is a combination of vintage Ikat injected with fresh contemporary colour. The mix includes antique furniture pieces and artwork presented in a lovely layered look for added interest. Go big or dont go at all! exclaims Interior Designer Sarah Ord, and this vibrant scheme of clashing colours and patterns works because the neutral walls and floors ensure the room doesnt become overwhelming.
