To make a space come alive, it is not important to stick to a neutral colour or single pattern. Sharing her design diaries, Kumpal Vaid, Principal Designer Purple Backyard, gives us tips on how to give your space a refreshing look, by adding that wee bit of patterned oomph!

1/ Piccolo tiles with a simple white, full body 3D tile and a gold framed mirror, make the space look opulent, yet soft.

2/ The cement tiles combined with a butter lemon-yellow floral wallpaper with a small and simple vanity make for a fuss-free guest bathroom that shouts chic.

3/ Leaf print tiles paired with white stone and metal accessories gives a soothing, vibrant and fun vibe.

4/ An extended dressing area to the master suite bathroom, narrates a joyous feeling via the full-bodied vitrified tiles, floral pouf and wood textures.
Kumpal's Quick Tips For Working With Prints
-
Remember that “less is more”, but if the design requires it, then don’t hesitate to have some fun. Patterns don’t always have to be just accent walls – they can be on all walls too.
-
Stay away from making single feature walls with wallpapers or patterns.
-
There’s no wrong in design, as long as it’s used in the right quantity with the right design vision.
-
Try to stay away from busy or dark colours for tiny spaces or corridors, and opt for bright colours instead.
-
If the walls are too busy with designs or patterns, go neutral with your decor pieces, but repeat the colours from that pattern to tie the space together as a whole.
