In this episode of Houzz TV Live, Kiya Kelly of the Houzz communications team talks with London interior designer Bhavin Taylor about how color and pattern can bring a little cheer to your home. Taylor highlights several spaces he designed that show how he plays around with tones found in wallpaper, paint, artwork, furniture and accessories to create a cohesive scheme.
In one living space, he balanced a bold black, white and yellow wallpaper in a geometric pattern with softer tones for the rug and furniture. In his own bathroom, Taylor arranged pink tiles in a fun pattern to bring a punch of style to a small space. And in a bedroom, he used restful blues and grays to introduce color, pattern and texture while maintaining a calm atmosphere.

Great to see something different to the current preoccupation with grey and white. Love the textured wallpaper.
Very helpful video.
I LOVE color and everyone who sees my Reno agrees. I have an electric French cottage coastal glam vibe and use teal, amethyst and whites everywhere and it is gorgeous. Textures in all white are BLOODLESS to me and color celebrates life. I learned to use one big print/design with a smaller print /pattern and then a plain color.
