Follow the colour you already love.

More Is More Decor connects maximalist interiors with the colours, patterns and textures that express personal taste, including inspiration from fashion. Siobhan Murphy’s approach gives this library a brighter counterpoint to its shadowy novels and quieter rooms. A darker home can still have a playful side.

Begin with a colour combination you already choose for yourself: a scarf, a favourite print or a photograph from somewhere memorable. Try a small version of that combination in the room before committing to a larger change. A patterned cushion against a deep plain fabric may tell you more than a board full of unrelated ideas. Use the book’s subject as permission to experiment at your own scale, with enough space left for everyday life.

Read it for

  • Colour and pattern with personality
  • Connections between fashion and interiors
  • A playful approach to maximalism

From the page to your room

Let one rich colour lead.

A dark romantic bedroom can begin with a single textile you love. Repeat one of its colours gently elsewhere, then leave some quieter surfaces to let the pattern show.
