colour decoded

There’s nothing subtle about this scheme, says Livingetc’s Amy Moorea Wong – it’s a celebration of the pure joy of colour

If using bold colour in the home can be said to be a brave act, then the designer of this space deserves a medal. Call off the hunt – this is where the vividity has been hiding. Stimulating the senses, the living room is a high-intensity celebration of can’t-go-any-higher saturation. I feel partly like I need to find my sunglasses, partly like this is where the action’s at and partly like I’m having a lucid dream. I know I’m not bored.

Electricity pulses through the room. Lime green. Acid yellow. Neon blue, if there's such a shade. You can practically hear the power vibrating through the air. "The palette was inspired by the bold colours and energy of Venice Beach-graffiti, rollerblades, sunsets, amusements,' its creator, Jessica Ayromloo, owner of LA-based interior design practice Ayromloo Design, explains. 'It feels alive and happy.'
