The use of fabric is undeniably one of the easiest ways to add color. Wether it’s a bedspread, throw pillows or curtains, it’s easy to change and it can make quite an impact.
Don’t throw away the paintbrush just yet: Add color by transforming a furniture piece with paint. For a bold look, paint the entire piece in a vibrant color or go for a softer look by painting part of the piece to create an interesting and colorful focal point.
A big painting is always a showstopper in a room; it sets the mood, shows the owner’s taste in art and can make a white wall colorful.
No need to complicate things, keep it easy in your office area: Color-block by grouping books of the same color and hang a colorful poster that inspires you on the wall such as a traditional, but always trendy, world map.
Put a splash of color where it’s unexpected. Use the floor, for instance; a neutral room can be brought to life with a patterned carpet that adds both color and interest to a decor.
A small accessory can go a long way: This Baroque inspired picture frame would be a showstopper used by itself with its bubbly blood orange color.
