Love dark or intense colours? This is how to bring them together

Abigail Ahern is the queen of dark and intense colours. She’s a wonderful interior designer, who I’ve followed for many years.

I really recommend doing one of her design courses if you like her style – they will give you lots of inspiration. You get to meet her, with other inspiring interiors affianados, in her own home in London. It’s an incredible day, I’d honestly love to do it all over again.

So, you already know what colours feel like you [LINK], how do you know how to put them together? Watch this quick video to find out…

“I take a saturation level, so a certain depth of colour and then every room in my house is a different colour but they’re all the same tonality. So it doesn’t all feel samey samey, but they all relate to one another creating harmony and cohesion. I do, however, add in lighter tones in my accessories which brings depth and personality to rooms.”
