Just because it’s autumn doesn’t mean that you cannot design your room in bold colors! It’s possible to blend neutral tones with bold colors. If you’re painting your walls a neon pink you can tone down the look by putting a dark brown sofa and a few area rugs in the room along with dark colored bookcases or coffee tables. You can get the area rugs in Charlotte at thrift stores, flea markets, local flooring stores and at garage stores. Here are additional tips on using bold colors in home décor.
Make Those Cabinets Funky
Most homeowners have those same boring white, brown or beige cabinets, but if you’re yawning each time you look at your kitchen cabinets, it’s time to apply some bold colored paint to them. Some good colors include lavender, yellow, aqua, bright red, orange and green. But don’t just stop with the paint on the cabinets. Find some wall decals and put them on the cabinets for an eclectic look.
It’s All About The Metallic
You can also incorporate metallic bold colors into the room. If your room has pastel yellow walls and dark hardwood floors with a white sofa, put some metallic silver and metallic pink pillows on the white sofa. Another idea is to paint the dining room chairs in a bold metallic colors.
Use Bold Colored Accessories
For those whose spouses or children do not want bold colored walls just yet, you can buy bold colored accessories to enliven the room. If the living room has a mocha color for the walls, buy a burnt orange sofa and teal colored end table along with some tan or white pillows for the orange sofa. Paint picture frames in bright colors and hang them on the walls.
Black Can Be Bold, Too
We may see an all black room as nothing to get excited about but when you combine bold colors with black, you create a sexy and sophisticated space in the home. Instead of the traditional black/white combination which is a little overdone, combine black with colors such as lime green, purple, turquoise, neon yellow or red.
Bold colored rooms used to be considered gaudy by many people but nowadays these rooms are back in style. Get inspiration by reading through some interior magazines and by talking with friends who are skilled decorators and use some of those ideas in your design scheme. Choose a color scheme that would look good for all seasons and keep your spouse’s interests in mind to avoid squabbles.
