So here’s my final version of the mood board for the living room.

I’m really pleased with how useful this has been in focusing my mind.
It’s really helped me work out the final palette for the room – fruit sorbet colours ranging from deep plum and raspberry through lime and citrus, with jasmine white walls.
I’ve learned that I need some dark colours and funky furniture to stop it getting too girly.
I’ve now got some specific ideas – a curvy, acid-bright chair for near the fireplace (though probably not a Barcelona as they are so ubiquitous); a row of horizontal white pattern on white panels for above the sofa (difficult to see but they’re behind the black lamp above); a curvy coffee table (I do like those Metro ones).
Very intrigued to hear whether you guys think it works or not.
