Get Help from Mother Nature

For additional colors, choose flowering plants such as bromeliads, African violet, and geranium. But don’t stop there. Decorate with natural elements ranging from stones and pebbles to seed pods. In other words, collect what nature offers, then get creative with them indoors. Use our Dalya set of planters to showcase your favorite plants in your decor!

Add colorful furniture

Pieces of furniture are also sources of color. You can mix and match them depending on the look or color gradient you want. You can even move them around for good measure. Give your dining room a pop of color with our Flam chairs that come in a beautiful sage green, or classic white design.

Now, you don’t necessarily have to buy a set of new furniture. In most cases, a piece or two (or maybe three) will be all you need for that color addition. For the playroom, entryway or home office, our Crea 2-door metal cabinet is a must! Available in a plethora of fun hues, you’ll find one that matches your tastes!

Using wallpaper is another surefire way to add pops of color to your home. It impacts the entire room design and can be utilized in any number of ways. You can use it to create an accent wall, for instance, or set the color palette of a particular room. The best part is that you can do it yourself. However, it can be a challenge. Wallpapers also have different materials that can add a different touch to the room, so not only are you adding a splash of color, but you're getting a different texture too.

Accentuate something that’s already there

An important use of color is to highlight something that’s already there, like, for example, the spindles of your staircase, or your door, or your flowerpot. What you can do in such case is paint those same individual spindles into a color gradient, repaint your door with colorful designs, and decorate those flowerpots. If you aren't into DIY projects, you can also add colorful pillowcases, bed sheets, or even a throw blanket! Indeed, your options are pretty much limitless.

Use art

Adding art in your living room — or any room for that matter—is one of the better and easier ways to add color to a space. Not only does it add a decorative touch, but it also provides a slew of colors and shapes. But again, don’t stop there. Adorn a wall or two with photos framed in frames of varying colors and designs. Another good way to inject personality into a room, as well as color, is to display your own paintings. Hang that art project and get artsy with your decor!

Hopefully these tips have inspired you to add some color to your space. Remember it can as simple as adding some plants to buying new furniture. Whatever you decide, color is the way forward.
