Decorating a house can be difficult at times. Which style to choose, which materials and especially which color? Many people quickly settle for a neutral color palette. A safe choice, but not always the most distinctive one. We understand that choosing bright, eye-catching colors can be exciting. That’s why we show you how you can subtly add color to your interior in this article!
Scroll down for tips and inspiration.
1. Pillows are the way to go
This is the most convenient and non-permanent way to add more color to the living room and bedroom. The nice thing about pillows is that you can experiment with different fabrics and change them every season. For example, a coarse knitted pillow in autumn, faux fur in winter and a linen fabric for the summer months. Do you really want to get out of your comfort zone? Mix different prints with each other!
2. Color is in the details
Color accents stand out in a neutral interior. Think of a candlestick, pictures on canvas or lamp in a different shade. For a ‘safer’ look, you can apply up to sur ton. In other words, pick one color and then add several shades of that color. You can get a lot of inspiration from this mood board.
3. Color under your feet…
Shift your attention downwards with a colorful rug or even more extreme: add a different touch to the floor itself. In this inspiration boost, we show you a lot of fine rugs. Do you have a wooden floor and aren’t afraid to give it a new touch? Make sure to follow this handy step-by-step plan.
4. …Or upstairs!
Ok, this is a somewhat extreme way of coloring the house, but how about a ceiling in a different color than the rest of the room? This can be quite stylish and it’s a good option if you prefer to leave your beautiful floor alone. The effect can be surprisingly cool, like in these rooms.
