How to use bold color in a neutral design scheme, according to global homeware brand GUBI

Using color in interior design can be quite intimidating. Bright hues and exciting patterns are lively, but bringing them into your home takes commitment. But luckily, introducing a bit more color into your home doesn't have to lead to an all-out, maximalist design scheme. Instead, tasteful touches of vibrant color can level up even the most neutral home – all while complementing a calming color palette.

Global design company GUBI just proved that you can introduce playful pops and sweeping swaths of color without taking over an entire space; with the opening of their brand-new, first-ever showroom in London, they mastered a sleek style that's at once colorful and neutral. Displaying timeless furniture in stylish arrangements (across four floors of a classic Clerkenwell townhouse), GUBI's use of color makes the use of bold hues appealing for everyone – even staunch minimalists.
