Design: How To Add Color


Drew here, with a how to on adding color to a room.

There are many ways to incorporate color into a room, but the most important thing to remember is: 
too much color is never too much!

I've provided a few examples on how adding certain elements with color, such as lighting, pillows, furniture, artwork and rugs can really make a complete impact on brightening up a room.


Whether you have lots of lighting or minimal lighting, a bold color used in either a chandelier or floor and table lamps will add such a strong impact to a room. The picture above is a perfect example. The aqua, crystal chandelier becomes the focal point of the entire room.



A simple way to add touches of color to a room is by adding fun and playful, patterned pillows.
They are easy to mix and match and even cheap alternatives to changing up the look and feel of a room.


Feeling bold? Purchase or paint your own furniture. With a neutral background, the furniture will set the stage for a room full of color.



Wanting to spice up your space or leave a unique, lasting impression? Try hanging original works of art and paintings to your wall. There's nothing greater than a full sized painting taking color control over an entire room!

Rugs tend to be viewed as a neutral foundation. Why not step it up and give your floors a punch of color! Don't just stop at one...add two or three, or even layer rugs to give your room an impressionable statement.



However you decide to use color in your house, be bold and gutsy! 
Nothing shows more personality in a house than bright hues and a colorful layout!
