A PUNCHY, COLOUR-BLOCKED EFFECT IS ALWAYS GOOD DECORATING ADVICE.
The idea is to paint a base coat, and then overlay it with random geometric shapes in a linked palette of colours. As for paint colours, you can get as inventive as you want. Try mixing some of the colours with Studio Finishes Glaze or metallic effects (imagine shimmering squares of copper and bronze floating over a smoky blue base).
