Are you stuck in a rut of taupes, beiges, and grays? Don’t be afraid to break free and add color to your abode! With added colors and textures you’ll see your space in a whole new way. Let’s get started:
1 – Pick your color
Go big and choose a saturated color that is full of life and brightness. Yellow is a great example, but choose a color that speaks to you.
2 – Identify the focal point in the room
Identify a focal point in your room such a fireplace, a bed, or a window. Don’t know where to start? Step back and take a look at your room – where are your eyes drawn to? In the photo above, the focal point is the tufted ottoman and mirror right in the center of the room
3 – Add an accessory
Set the focal point off by adding an accessory. It can be a pillow, throw, piece of artwork, or window covering in the bold color or pattern. Like the yellow drapery and pillows in the photo above, these pieces flank the mirror and add dimension.
Keep your eyes open for design inspiration
