Liven Up Your Home with Color
(Family Features) The summer months are all about color. From
flowers in bloom to vibrant beach towels and colorful dresses, summer brings
with it a multitude of hues.
If you feel that your home is in need of an
update, adding a little pop of color can help. Start by thinking about the
colors you want to add, where color can make the most impact and just how much
you need to give your home a fresh look.
Here are a few tips to get you
started on your adventure in color:
Explore Color
Begin by visiting your favorite clothing boutique, stopping into a
paint store or flipping through home design magazines for inspiration. Choose
the looks you are most drawn to or the colors that evoke a feeling of happiness
or calmness. These colors reflect your personal style and will make you feel
most comfortable in your home.
Start Small
After
picking a color palette, don’t go out and paint your whole house with it; start
small. Just changing your accent pillows, throws, lampshades or accessories can
make a big impact when you are introducing a new color. Remember to make sure
the color flows well throughout the entire space, especially if your home has an
open floor plan with rooms easily visible from one to
another.
Accent with Artwork
Another easy way to
bring color to your home is by updating artwork and wall decor. Simply moving
artwork from one room to another can give your home a refreshed look. Adding
some newly purchased pieces can also breathe new life into your home!
Be Brave
If you’re ready to go all out with color,
it’s fine to make a dramatic change. The kitchen is a great place to go big with
color and it’s usually the gathering place in the home. To bring bold color in
the kitchen, and to set the tone for your entire home, update your cabinetry.
