Colour zoning is a new design trend that is becoming more and more popular. This painting technique lets you define, emphasize or showcase room features by applying colour only to select areas. Here are 10 examples that illustrate this concept and the myriad of possibilities that it offers.

1. To define a space, outline the main component with flair and audacity. Don't be afraid to extend the chosen colour right onto the floor!
