Are you looking for a way to liven up your drab decor? Do you have a fun personality that you want to show through your home, but don't know where to begin? Adding splashes of color throughout your home decor can be a great way to update any room. The ideas I have listed below are relatively inexpensive and simple ways to accomplish this look - it could be as simple as adding one piece of furniture. Read on to find out how to add spunk and personality to your home!
1. Paint an accent wall - This method is probably the most obvious way to go about adding a splash of color to a room. However, it must be done carefully and strategically in order to avoid the "obnoxious" effect. The accent wall you choose to paint should be the smallest wall in the room, such as a breakfast nook or bay window. The rest of the furniture and accessories in the room should follow a neutral, light color scheme that subtly ties into the accent wall, such as the pillows and wall hangings in the picture below). Painting an accent wall in a bright, sunny color will instantly add a modern touch to any room.
2. Kitchen/breakfast table chairs - This update could be as simple as painting your pre-existing chairs! The key to accomplishing this look is to make sure the rest of the room is neutral in color, with small accents in the contrast color such as picture frames, dishes, charger plates, etc to tie everything together.
3. Throws or pillows - Many people enjoy switching up their bedroom decor every once in a while. A great way to be able to afford this is to buy bedding, furniture, and wall paint in neutral colors (like white, cream, taupe, or gray) and integrate your pops of color into affordable pieces such as throws, accent pillows, and small rugs. If you follow this method, you can switch out those affordable pieces for new ones in colors that currently speak to you. No guilt here!
4. Garage sale finds - You won't feel nearly as guilty brightening up a $20 garage sale dresser as you will painting one of your own. Scour the nearest garage sale for inexpensive finds with a touch of vintage character, such as the chair and dresser below. Simply paint the item your favorite bright color or reupholster in an eye-catching, modern fabric.
