The grey walls in this cloakroom provide a neutral background, while a blue glow above the basin adds a different colour to the scene. The accent sits around the washing area rather than appearing as another permanent pattern across all the walls. The white basin and cabinet remain easy to distinguish beneath it.
Colour does not always have to come from the furniture or wall finish. A lighting accent can change how a quiet palette looks when it is switched on. Consider the lit and unlit appearance together so the room has a coherent base, with the lighting adding another layer rather than carrying the entire design.
