A lot of people are scared to use color inside their house, which is unfortunate because there are so many different ways it can make the room pop! If you’re ready to change up your decor for the better, then use the tips below for adding color the right way.
1. Throw Pillows
These pillows come in a lot of different colors and patterns, so take your pick with those that you like (you can even make your own for cheap). Throw these on your couches and chairs and you’ll have instant color and personality in your living room.
2. Change Accents
If you have something like a lamp or picture frame sitting on your end tables, then paint them! Most small accents can be painted to fit the needs of your home, and it doesn’t require that much time or effort to do this.
Tip: Add glitter to add a little bit of sparkle to the room.
3. Paint Your Floor
If you have hard floors that you really want to change, then consider painting them! You can paint them one solid color or choose a design, like stripes or zig zags. This is one of the more permanent changes, but it is worth it if you want to make a big statement.
4. Rug
Add a colorful rug to your room and you’ll see an immediate change in the entire spice. Complement this with matching frames in the same area to finish off the look!
5. DIY Colorful Art
Art can be expensive, so why not make your own? Purchase some wallpaper that you like the print of, and frame it to put on your walls. This is not only cheap; it is really unique and will add beautiful color to any room. You can also use smaller frames and put them on nightstands or counters if you don’t have a lot of wall space available.
6. Bookshelf Background
Change a boring bookshelf by putting patterned wallpaper on the inside of it. This will dress up your walls, add a pop of color and give the room an overall more decorated feel! Chevron print is a great choice, but flowers and stripes can also work out quite well.
7. Floor Vases
If you have a large television sitting on top of a simple stand, then place two bright-colored floor vases on each side. There’s no need to add flowers to these, as they will look great on their own.
8. Look to the Ceiling
One really unique way to add color is by painting your ceiling! You can use a solid color or a pattern, depending on the rest of the decor that is in your space. Just make sure the rest of the room balances nicely, because this does add a lot of color in a concentrated area.
9. Paint Your Door
Paint your door a bright or bold color that you think looks great with the color of your home. A lot of people go with a deep red, as it’s a rich and luxurious color that looks beautiful for guests or people driving by.
10. Curtains
If you hang curtains inside of your home, then change out your plain ones for those with bright colors or patterns. It’s easy to make these on your own, but there are a lot of stores that sell unique curtains as well.
11. Colorful Bulb Covers
Instead of using plain bulb covers, choose those that are colorful and unique. There are a lot of these available, and they look particularly nice in kitchen nooks or in dining rooms.
12. Bold Cabinets
A lot of people paint their cabinets to make them look better, but stick with colors like white or black. Choose a bright color, like red, and you’ll add instant drama to your kitchen.
