How to try bold new color in your home’s design.
Choosing a color scheme for your home can sometimes be a daunting and complex problem. Using traditional color theory techniques can help create a simpler solution.
The idea is all about how different shades work together in harmony. Based on certain context, you may pick a piece of furniture and decorate based on the structure of the room. Many people may often go for a neutral palette, trying to create a consistent theme. While a neutral theme can be satisfying, it may not always make the bold designer statement you desire.
If you’re on the fence about color schemes in your home – or lack thereof – why not take a chance and go for something bold? Before added a bright new sofa or paint, gently add a few new pillows or colorful elements to the room. Start with your neutral palette, see how adding these different hues can flow together.
“Once you find colors you love, keep adding layers of those same hues,” says interior designer Angela Carroll Ast. From softer shades to bold pops, this is the traditional way an elegant home design theme is developed.
Your room needs a whole new face?
Step inside the room you want to transform and think back to the last time you switched up the design. Consider paint first. Something as simple as a new deeper shade on the walls can take your home to the next level. Medium toned wall colors don’t have to be dark. They can be keen to the eye and evoke natural calming sensations. Then by adding neutral furnishings and accessories you are giving the space the personality it deserves.
Want to take it to the next level?
Maybe it’s time to step outside your comfort zone. If you’ve been afraid to step away from the neutral palette you’ve had for years. Perhaps you may need to close your eyes, take a deep breath and imagine incorporating a bold statement that could make the living space pop. There’s no use in saying you want to transform your home at some point in your life – the time is now. A space you love? These are the basic ingredients that create calm inner peace and wellness within the home. There are many ways to add that designer touch with just a few simple upgrades.
- Eccentric wallpaper can add a fun twist to your home style and give the room a new face. It can be as simple as adding paper to create an accent wall at the end of the hall or to your entryway. FYI: These are not your grandmother’s wallpapers. Many papers these days are both easy to install and later easy removal.
- Striking pattern window treatments or a stunning area rug is another great way to add rich layers of color to your home. While many of these featured products can be custom, they do bring depth and a new sense of character to your unique space.
- Another hot trend in home decor is rich, jewel toned upholstery. There’s something so gratifying about transforming a room with the largest piece of furniture. Adding a daring color on your sofa can help you execute the feelings you’ve kept inside for years- to love your home!
Making a big change in your home can be intimidating, but it doesn’t have to be! Whether it’s something as simple as paint, or taking the plunge and purchasing a custom upholstered piece, creating a fresh, beautiful, living space will worth the effort, as it will quickly become your favorite new space and personal retreat.
