“I love to use bright and cheerful wallpaper, ” says designer Jo Smeeth of INDA Interiors in Clear Lake, Ont. Her daughters’ playroom was the perfect place for it.

The artist Wassily Kandinsky once said, “Colour is a power which directly influences the soul. ” Many designers agree. If you ’ ve been colour shy but want to give it a try in your home, be fearless.
