Your walls are the best canvases for mood-altering, space-defining elements - all you have to do is get a colour chart. This time, however, you’re going to flip past the neutrals and whites, and turn to vibrant, colourful hues instead.
Yes, you can colour-zone with bright colours without turning your sanctuary into a tacky circus. Colour-zoning helps define the functional spaces of a home, such as the living room and kitchen. While using subtle colours are fine, using bright hues can add more fun and personality to your living spaces.
This spacious condominium designed by Wynk Collaborative showcases how to embrace a colourful apartment design. The home utilises a dynamic colour palette, with vibrant hues expertly balanced to create a cohesive and visually striking interior.
Lilac for a cozy living area
Upon entering the home, the living room immediately captivates with its bold use of colour. Lilac paint is applied to one accent wall, bringing a fun, warm, and inviting feel to the space. The rich, velvety tone of the lilac creates a cozy and intimate atmosphere, while also making the room appear more spacious. Complementing the lilac wall are colourful cushions from The Design Store, adding pops of complementary hues that tie the entire living area together.
Using yellow as contrast
The sleeping area, originally two bedrooms, can be screened off with curtains for privacy. Blanket and cushions from The Design Store.
The sleeping area, originally two bedrooms, has been cleverly transformed into a multi-functional space. Curtains can be used to screen off the sleeping zone, providing privacy when needed. The use of a dynamic yellow as a contrast against the greys of the wardrobes creates a visually stimulating and energetic atmosphere. The neutral tone of the wardrobes also runs throughout the rest of the house, providing a good base for the bright colours used. Additional printed cushions and blankets from The Design Store complete the colourful, yet harmonious, look, adding texture and visual interest to the space.
Balancing colours with plain floors and ceilings
Multi-colour doesn’t have to be gaudy. The three dominant hues of the home – blue, yellow and lilac – are balanced out by the plain black floor and white ceiling.

The three dominant hues of the home – blue, yellow, and lilac – are balanced out by the plain black floor and white ceiling, creating a cohesive and visually appealing colour-zoned living space. The strategic placement of these colours ensures that each room or zone has its own distinct personality, while still feeling connected to the overall design scheme.
Bright corridor
Strong colours define spaces to make an impact. Yellow – bright and warm – brings luminance. Here, it emphasises the tunnel and makes it look more welcoming.
