Meet Harpo Harmonious!

Try a harmonious background for your space, using lots of texture. Then add furniture and artwork of a contrasting colour.

Things like art and cushions can instantly change your space with little expense, and inconvenience of digging up floors or scratching off wall paper!

A small pop of a contrasting colour will become a focal element.

Using a contrasting colour against the harmony of the same proportion will not have the same impact.
