Clashing blue and yellow accents creates bounce in modern interiors, whether the tones used are bright or subdued.

Next, we observe a deeper part of the spectrum with a teaming of mustard and prussian blue, shook up with energetic black and white elements. Finally, we finish off with an upmarket studio apartment that employs golden elements to build undeniable luxe around plush blue and sunflower infusions.
