1. What are safe colours?

Safe colours are versatile tones that perfectly blend into various interior styles and colour schemes. These typically include neutrals like beige, grey, taupe?and off-white, as well as muted earth tones such as sage green, terracotta and soft blues.

Safe colours are ideal for foundational furniture pieces like sofas and armchairs because they create a timeless base that can be easily accessorised with bolder accents, such as cushions or throws.

2. Can I choose a bold colour?

Absolutely! Bold colours can make a statement and bring personality to a space. When using vibrant tones, consider the room’s overall design and purpose. A jewel-toned armchair, for example, can serve as a focal point in a neutral room, while a pair of bright accent chairs can add energy to a minimalist interior. The key is balance—if one piece is bold, keep other elements in the room more subdued to avoid visual clutter.

For high-traffic or multifunctional spaces, consider performance fabrics that combine durability with vivid colours.

3. How can I ensure the furniture’s fabric matches the overall design?
