Celebrated interior stylist and author Megan Morton has usedย the latest dusty pink and purpleย Sheridanย range to illustrate her unique colour theory.
The stylistโs โThree Degrees of Colourโ theory not only supports the range, but itโs a great method for anyone to employ when using colour in the home. Basically, you need to consider the room and adjust the levels of colour accordingly, whether it be the โaccent a little, โenhance some more,โ or the โimmerse yourself in colourโ approach.
โA beautiful home works when all the rooms and spaces have a holding palette โ tones that hold them together beautifully. You can then use a little amount of your chosen colour in one room, be slightly more heavy handed in another and go fuller strength in another without the fear of over-colouring,โ says Megan.
For example, given its functionality, a bathroom usually only requires a touch of colour and towels will usually provide this. The lounge room, however, requires that bit more โ think layers of coloured and textured cushions on the sofa. The bedroom is the perfect space in which to go full-tilt with your chosen colour โ think a feature wall and complementary cushions on the bed.
โYour instinct needs to play a part which is why colour palettes are such a hard one to copy from a Pinterest image,โ says Megan, who always considers the entire space before starting on a project. โWhen it comes to the use of colour, you must consider the floor and wall tones as well as the external elements should the room enjoy windows looking outward. Rooms are never just four walls and a roof โ they frame the outside world.
โMy colour theory works across all tones in the same way that eyeshadow application works. Sometimes you only need a little, sometimes a bit more and some occasions require a lot! Ultimately though, you should always consider the roomโs mood, tone and usage.”
