10 incredible single colour rooms

Rooms decorated with one shade are a bold and fun way to make a statement in your home. We all have a favourite colour, but when it comes to decorating having a whole space in one colour can seem like an intimidating prospect.

There's a simple styling trick that will let you work in mono with ease - break up the colour with whites and neutral shades so you can bring in patterns, texture and add depth to the room without distracting from the impact. Voila! A single colour room you'll love to live in.
