How to Add Color to a Room in 3 Simple Ways
Infuse Bold Hues into Your Space While many homeowners lean towards neutral palettes like beige, white, or gray for their walls, it doesn’t mean you have to shy away from color. Adding vibrant accents can elevate the look of your space without overwhelming it. “Neutral colors provide a balanced canvas, giving you flexibility,” says interior designer Angela Harris. “Adding bold tones introduces a sense of drama and intrigue that complements the neutrals.” Play with Accessories An effortless way to introduce bold colors is by using textiles. “Think about bright pillows, throws, or even rugs,” Harris suggests. Additionally, accent chairs can bring in personality and depth. Artwork can also be a fun avenue to reflect your taste and add a burst of color. “It’s a wonderful opportunity to tell a story through design,” Harris adds. Other simple color touches include bold window treatments, a painted accent wall, or vibrant decorative pieces like lamps, plants, and keepsakes. Maintain Balance It’s easy to go overboard when adding color, but maintaining balance is key. How do you keep things harmonious? “Trust your instincts, but there are also tricks to the trade,” says Harris. For example, if you have a neutral sofa, anchor the room with darker tones before bringing in vibrant colors. Start with deep hues like navy or charcoal for pillows, then introduce lively patterns and textures. “I have a turquoise peacock pillow that stands out beautifully,” shares Harris. Explore Current Trends Trendy colors evolve over time. A decade ago, red dominated dining rooms. Today, interior color rules are more fluid. Popular shades include vibrant yellows, blues, greens, and even pinks. “Deep teal is particularly striking right now,” says Harris. Harris encourages experimenting with bold colors since they can be easily updated. “It’s all about expressing your style. Even with neutral walls, you can transform a space with colorful accessories and textures.”
