If you’re reading this blog, chances are you enjoy decorating and renovating your home. However there are times when you can’t paint the walls or make any permanent adjustments, if for example you rent your property. But that doesn’t mean you can’t make your home interesting and personal. So read on and I will show you how to bring that zing of colour into your home with soft furnishings, furniture and artwork.
Create impact
Add a large piece of colourful artwork to draw the eye into a space and create impact.
Place it on a focal wall in a kitchen or dining room or place above a fireplace, sofa or bed and pick up accent colours in soft furnishings to tie the scheme together.
Painted Furniture
Painted furniture is a fantastic way to introduce colour to a space. The beauty of painted furniture is it gives you a chance to recycle and use old furniture in a new way.
Painted furniture is also a great way to introduce fun into a space and works really well in kids rooms.
Colour Explosion
Use colourful soft furnishings and accents to bring a space together.
I love how the hard surfaces in this room are all neutral yet the fuschia and green in the rug and soft furnishings makes the scheme really pop.
Add a flurry of quirky colour to give a cheerful edge to a neutral space.
