Colour blocking is a tried and trusted design method, well renown for its ability to inject vibrancy into interiors. It's often used to breathe life into a space, and it allows us to get creative with our home's colour palettes. But though interior experts are well familiar with colour blocking, you might be wondering, what even is colour blocking in interior design?
