5 Ways to Blend Colour Into Your Neutral Home: Colours Can Be Neutral Too.

Are you tired of being called a sad beige girl - or guy? Well I am a beige girly and I don't know that I have ever met a sad one! All jokes aside, infusing colour into your living space can breathe new life into your surroundings. Whether you prefer bold, vibrant hues or subtle pops of color, there are numerous ways to add a splash of it to your home decor. Here are five creative ideas to help you infuse color into your living space:

1) Accent Pieces: Introducing colourful accent pieces is one of the easiest ways to add colour to your home decor. Look for throw pillows, decorative vases, or artwork with eye-catching colors that complement your existing furniture and decor. Not all pops of colour need to be bold either. For instance, a dark green, solid throw pillow can instantly liven up a neutral-colored sofa, while a muted abstract painting can serve as a focal point in a room. Don't be afraid to mix and match different colors and patterns to create a dynamic and visually appealing look. Use the colour wheels a cheat-sheet and play around with it; you can never go wrong with colours you can find in nature. If you are worried about keeping it neutral, looks for tints and shades.

2) Statement Furniture: Consider investing in a statement furniture piece to serve as the focal point of a room. Whether it's a brightly colored sofa, an eclectic armchair, or a chest of drawers, a standout furniture piece can add personality and visual interest to your space. Opt for colors that resonate with your personal style and the overall theme of your home decor. Additionally, you can balance out the boldness of the statement piece by keeping the rest of the room's decor relatively neutral, repeating the accent colour throughout wall art and smaller accessories.

3) Colorful Wall Paint or Wallpaper: Painting your walls in a vibrant hue or adding colorful wallpaper can instantly transform the look and feel of a room. Choose a color that reflects your personality and complements the other elements in the space. Whether you opt for a bold accent wall or decide to paint the entire room, colorful walls can create a striking backdrop for your furniture and decor. If you're hesitant to commit to a permanent colour, removable wallpaper offers a temporary yet impactful solution that allows you to experiment with different patterns and designs. You can also achieve this by installing a coloured wall wainscotting or neutral wainscotting with a colourful paint or wallpaper above. Another way to ease into colour is to choose a tint; mostly white paint colour with a coloured undertone.

4) Nature-Inspired Accents: Bringing elements of nature into your home decor is not only aesthetically pleasing but also a great way to incorporate colour for those that are hesitant. Consider incorporating houseplants with vibrant foliage, such as ferns, succulents, or flowering plants. Additionally, many people forget that brown is still a colour! Wood tones, jute and canvas materials will infuse your home with the beauty of the outdoors while adding visual interest and texture. Consider using wooden furniture, picture frames, accent walls, ceiling treatments or even jute rugs and gold metals. Just be careful not to overload the room: pick 2 - 3 of these elements and allow the other areas of the room to breathe.

5) Playful Accessories: Injecting color into your home decor doesn't always have to involve major changes or investments. Playful accessories such as bright area rugs, colourful lamp bases, or decorative throw blankets can add character and charm to any room. Don't be afraid to experiment with unconventional colour combinations or quirky accent pieces that reflect your personal taste and style. By incorporating playful accessories, you can easily switch up the colour scheme of your space and keep your decor feeling fresh and exciting. This is a great idea to do as the seasons change or as holidays approach.

Adding color to your home is a fun and creative way to enhance the look and feel of your living space. Whether you prefer bold, statement-making hues or subtle pops of color, there are countless ways to infuse your home with personality and style. By incorporating vibrant accent pieces, statement furniture, colorful paint, nature-inspired accents, or playful accessories, you can create a visually stunning and inviting environment that reflects your uniqueness. So go ahead, embrace colour, or don't - this is your home; your opinion is the only one that matters!
