In the example below, you could use the Oatmeal page from the Brilliant Colour Combinations e-book to style an oatmeal-coloured sofa with soft orange and charcoal cushions in some lovely textures and prints.

The throw rug in ivory, dark-taupe, and dark-cocoa stripes adds even more interest to the sofa while protecting it from clothing and giving you warmth on cool evenings.

Another tip is always to cement your throw rug under your throw cushions so they all act as one connected display.

 

Using colour theory in your home is just as important (and as easy) as using it in your wardrobe.
