Ten bright and bold interiors that make use of colour theory
For our latest lookbook we've selected ten examples of interiors enlivened by contrasting or analogous hues and colour-blocked walls.
The chosen projects all make use of colour theory, some by using analogous colours ? colours that are close or next to each other on the colour wheel ? while others use complementary colours, which are on opposite sides of the wheel.

This is the latest roundup in our Dezeen Lookbooks series providing visual inspiration for the home. Previous articles in the series feature interiors with internal glazing, relaxing courtyards, outdoor seating areas with firepits and decorative printed wallpaper.
