For a fresh twist on a classic interior design combination, why not try pairing deep, dark burgundy with cool, refreshing mint green? A match made in heaven, these contrasting colours play off against each other beautifully, creating an ageless yet modern look that works in almost every space, especially living areas like kitchens and dining rooms.

When you’re using contrasting colour combinations such as these, it’s best to let your two headline colours be the centre of attention and keep the rest of the room’s interior design minimal and understated. Tone down the bright hues by choosing cabinetry and bench tops in crisp cool neutrals, such as white, ivory or slate grey. Golden maple wood furnishings and touches of lush greenery keep this colour scheme looking fresh and timeless.
