Chairish challenge: From White to Bright

The lovely folks at Chairish recently challenged us to take one of their fab accent chairs and use it as a focus to turn a plain white room into a bright room.

We chose a pair of mid-century tufted robin’s egg chairs in a lovely shade of turquoise blue. Taking influence from the Fresh Design Blog colours, we’ve primarily added colour to the rest of the room through the use of bright pops of orange and turquoise blues.

The wallpaper is the Scion Taimi wallpaper in sulphur and tangerine, which would certainly add some bold colour to the wall. There’s a matching Scion Taimi cushion, along with a diagonal zig zag cushion in a punchy orange, and a lovely cosy plain wool throw to snuggle up under in a chair.

Furniture can be colourful too, as the Donald wood handcrafted chest of drawers and Hector wood coffee table prove. We like the way the wood matches the legs of the chairs.

The shelving unit, with its colourful patterns set into each of the shelves, ties in perfectly with our colour palette. And the room is finished off with a factory style pendant lamp to shine light across the room.
