Accessories and ornamentation can make or break a design, so ensure you choose the right ones for your colour scheme or palette. If you are sticking to muted hues, make sure you stay within the cool or warm categories, for instance, if your walls are a warm French grey, avoid cool or cold tones such as harsh blacks or bright colours, and instead warm hues such as a navy or warm charcoal. Furs (faux or real) are a great way to inject a sense of softness and warmth into the space. Consider implementing a fur rug or throw to evoke character and appeal.
