Doesn’t this sugar candy-coloured combo make your heart sing? Jay, who lives in a Victorian townhouse in Orkney, has created a perfect blend of colour. Keeping the counter-tops and other horizontal & vertical surfaces clear of ‘stuff’ lets you appreciate the room in all its kaleidoscopic glory.

All the painting was done by Jay herself. And she has decorated the rest of the house (and lots of furniture too!) in similar vibrant hues.

Get their look: Attention-grabbing pink and grey combo

We’ve featured a pink and grey combo on here before – I just think the pairing works so well together. Did I mention that they were the colours I had in my teenage bedroom?

The amazing fuchsia-coloured sofa sits centre-stage and is paired with a tactile-looking buttoned footstool. Different shades of grey are layered to great effect within the space – the walls, kitchen island, stool legs and accessories all contribute.

One of my favourite bits of the room – in addition to the sofa – is the smart overhead wine rack above the tall cupboard!
