A neutral palette is the perfect foundation for inviting color into your home. What are you waiting for? Take the next step, and add personality to your home by finding the right shade and the proper placement. Need some inspiration? Let’s take a look…
Tip 1: See Furniture in Color
When we purchase furniture for our homes, we usually play it safe. We lean toward light shades of gray or brown and avoid anything bold. We use neutrals to set the foundation. But when you’re ready to add a splash of color, an accent chair in a favorite shade or upholstered dining chairs are a great way to add a bit of personality to your space. Remember a little color never hurt anyone.
Tip 2: Wallpaper + Cabinets
A popular way to bring color into your home is through cabinetry. Today, shades of green have taken the home decor industry by storm, especially when it comes to cabinetry. Shades of green can give homes a natural, earthy feeling–the perfect vibe for a comfortable atmosphere. This office space is stunning with it’s large-scale built-in bookshelves in dark green. The wall art and neutral paint color bring it all together. What a warm, yet sophisticated, look.
Tip 3: Treat the Windows
When it comes to extending color into your home, don’t forget window treatments. Shades, draperies, romans, honeycombs…you name it, they are ALL available with a variety of colors, patterns and unique textures. You can enhance the look of your space–and the function of your home–with window coverings.
Tip 4: Simple Design Elements
It doesn’t take much to bring color into your home. You can elevate the style of your space with simple design elements like colorful throw blankets, accent pillows and layered linens. In addition, area rugs can add style and comfort, while potted houseplants bring color and dimension, as well. For the trendy homeowner, accent walls are popular right now and can introduce color into your home. Any favorite paint shade will do, or peel and stick wallpaper for easy application and removal.
