This Independence Day, we decided to use our beautiful national flag as inspiration, to see how we could incorporate elements of the Tricolour into our homes. If you're feeling especially patriotic, or just need a reason to redecorate your home , follow our tips - just in time for August 15! Jasem Pirani and Huzefa Rangwala, interior designers on Discern's panel of Professionals and founders of MuseLab, have shared their top tips with us, on achieving a trendy look at home, using the Tricolour as inspiration. What's more, we created mood boards to further help you visualise the various ways in which you can stylishly embrace these colours, without creating an overly kitschy vibe. Colours of Contrast





With a focus on saffron and green, go bold for a look that will be both striking yet elegant. Choose furniture in dark wood to achieve a sense of warmth and balance in the space - the Fava low coffee table helps achieve that. Extend the Tricolour theme through accessories - a saffron lamp shade, for instance, provides a vibrant burst of the colour you're looking for. Extend the spirit of celebration into your home, say Jasem and Huzefa, by placing tealight holders, lanterns and candles around the house. Extra points to you if you find these in saffron, white and green!

Create a saffron trail with your accessories - here, we've designed a tri-coloured space with mix-and-match cushions in saffron and green. Place them on a neutral sofa, like the beige one pictured here, to create a pop of vibrancy . Make sure a few pieces have a white (or neutral-coloured) palette to avoid the risk of overwhelming your space with too much bold colour. This pair of colourful stools allows you to bring an ethnic touch to this modern setting. The Marigold rug completes the look.

Jasem Pirani and Huzefa Rangwala recommend using a white or ivory base for your space and decorating with accents - tri-coloured side tables, pouffes and solid or printed cushions - all of which would be an inclusive and committed way of incorporating the Tricolour. Offset with black and white or ivory prints, to further enhance the look. According to the designers, individual metal pieces with laser-cut designs are the current "in" thing. Jasem and Huzefa advise picking pieces that sport this look, especially in the shades of the Tricolour. The overall effect will be fun and rustic, while staying bang on trend.
