How to style a room starting with Colours of Arley’s perfect pairings
Creating ‘bespoke stripes for distinctive places’, Colours of Arley are renowned for their custom-made striped fabric made from recycled bottles and gorgeous unique colour combinations. What’s more, Colours of Arley are based here in our home of Cheshire so we’re proud to be supporting local artisan brands within our product ranges available in Arighi’s Macclesfield store and online.
Taking inspiration from Arighi Bianchi’s best-selling Colours of Arley products, our interior design experts show you how to style a room, using Colours of Arley striped cushion combinations as the inaugural inspo.
“It can sometimes be difficult to know where to begin when you’re updating a room with new colours, or starting from scratch,” says Lucy Mather. “Most people will often commence with the bottom layers - the flat surfaces, which include floors and walls. But using the expertly paired colour combinations that feature on some of our Colours of Arley striped cushions is a fantastic way to provide colour inspiration and a theme for styling a room in your home.

“Every colour combination tells its own story”, adds Lucy, “and they can easily create a whole look for the home using well-selected furniture and accessories to enhance the feeling and aesthetic they bring out.
“Adding colour through stripes into a room that lacks excitement can make a big impact, so starting with the fabric and building out will undoubtedly mean that the room looks more thought out.
“Designing your room around a colour combination you love is also a way to simplify the whole interior design process; decor design can be quite overwhelming when there’s so much choice! And a top tip is not ‘what the cushion can go with’, but what lifestyle and feeling you want when inhabiting the space. Your space should feel welcoming and perfect for you with the addition of great accessories.
“So, if you are shopping this week and see a colour combination you must have, don’t shy away! It will probably make your space amazing and unique.”
