In this upbeat loft bedroom, a bold and playful colour scheme is achieved by combining a sunny yellow on one wall, which is alternately striped with soft grey on the adjoining wall, to create an offbeat graphic effect. The Colour of the Year 2020, Tranquil Dawn, is used in a chunky border that gives definition to the window area. White-painted furniture, warm woods and unfussy natural textiles complete the look.
