Colour-blocking decor ideas

Two-tone designer pieces have two advantages: they’re both decorative and make life easier when you’re undecided. After all, one of the two colours is bound to go perfectly with the look of your home.

Why make do with one thing when you can have two? This seems to be the motto of some designers. They’ve given accessories the colour-blocking treatment instead of settling for a monochrome look. This creates an effective dividing line. It envelops and accentuates the shape of each piece.

Delicate tones

The beauty of colour-blocking is not just the decorative aspect but also the flexibility of this design trend. It simplifies interior decorating. Either one of the colours matches your interior or intentionally deviates from it. In other words, a breath a fresh air and a highlight in the room.

Two colours can also be created by combining different structures. Like when the colours of natural wood and concrete give you a beautiful contrast.
