An illusion of space

What’s the number one problem teenagers face when they move into dorm rooms, or that young couples constantly deal with in their first home? Space. While monochromes can’t knock down walls for you or buy you extra inches, they can create an illusion of space. Objects such as instruments, shelves etc. can be made to look flat when using monochromes which therefore creates ‘bigger’ rooms.

Bringing out the texture in your decor

Monochromes are perfect when dealing with patterns or texture because they emphasise them further. Recording moments and sharing them proudly is big at the moment, which is why gallery walls are something most of us go for. These textured frames are displayed in all their beauty when put against walls of the same shade. Your family portraits are guaranteed to stand out.
