Color is a language that evokes a variety of emotions. Organic neutral tones and warmer grey shades provide tranquility and balance to your room design. If you need a design dose of courage to add bolder shades to your living areas, Billie R. Comeaux, corporate designer with American Factory Direct Furniture Outlets Inc., in Long Beach has a rainbow of ideas for you:
Add a ray of sunlight by using metallic accents, whether a lamp or a throw with a metallic thread throughout. Using textural elements such as linen, accessories and mixed woods provide subtle tonal variations. Adding a vibrant contrast of fuschia, red-orange, and teal are fun and dramatic. It also adds energy to your style.
Here are easy ways to add color to your room.
- Vibrant pillows and throws
- Accessories with a shiny or matte finish
- Oil paintings with vivid tones
- Covering or painting books with bold complementary tones
- Rugs with a colorful pattern or border
- Paint an old picture or mirror frame with a dramatic contrast of color.
- Revive a dated accent table by painting it in a shade that compliments your decor.
