Indigo & pastel living room
Used on its own, indigo is a brave choice, so soften it with a palette of muted pastels and cool metallics.

Make a statement
Instead of painting the entire room in rich indigo blue, find a matching large-pattern wallpaper for a striking combination of colour and style. By papering the chimney breast or alcoves rather than the entire room, you could splash out on a more extravagant purchase.
Wall in Velvet Blue flat emulsion and Tulip Tree wallpaper, as before. Bobble floor lamp base, £175, shade, £50, both Heal’s. On mantel: lustre vase, from £20, Bhs; gold tumbler, £4.50, Conran; Isadora Sapphire tall blue vase, £35, Heal’s; notebook, £23, Joanna Wood.
