It's no secret that when you enter my home, an array of colors will immediately welcome you. Almost every room in my home has it's own color scheme. Don't get me wrong, I love neutral, calm palettes (in other homes) but in my home, I absolutely LOVE pops of color! In my living room, there's a lot of pink and purple decor. In the kitchen, the main pop of color is aqua/turquoise. There is something about a daring color palette that instantly makes me happy which makes me want to spend more time in each room. The following 5 decor tips will help instantly transform your space!
1. Flowers
This is a special touch and extremely easy to add. Mother nature always seems to change the feeling of any room. You can choose to add bright colored roses, tulips or any other flower. The possibilities are endless with this option. Don't be afraid to go FAUX either! I literally have faux pink flowers that I move from room to room because I cannot get enough of them! They're absolutely beautiful and necessary (well, to me!)
2. Throw Pillows
Who doesn't love them?! I bet we can all agree that we have more throw pillows in our rooms than we actually need. Mix it up with different patterns, colors and textures. This definitely is not one of those "less is more" type of things. The MORE throw pillows, the HAPPIER you will be with the look of your space. Think about using different shapes and sizes as well to create a fun and playful look.
3. Accessories
This is super important! I will admit that I go to the store (often Marshall's... who am I kidding, it's ALWAYS Marshall's!) at least twice a week to purchase accessories for my home. I love anything aesthetically pleasing. You can add pretty vases, funky lamps, decorative frames, globes, table trays, monogram letters and candlesticks. A little secret of mines, I love to buy candles that come in different colored jars (thank you DW HOME!) I place them everywhere. This is a simple touch and let's be honest, who can really live without candles?!
4. Prints
These are a fun way to add character to your space. I enjoy adding prints with cute phrases and vibrant photos. I received a huge canvas with the Eiffel Tower painted on it as a gift and it is the staple of my living room. If you are a fan of DIY, you can also create and frame your own prints.
5. Painted Furniture
This is easily becoming one of my favorites! Whether big or small, a bold painted piece of furniture can dramatically change the look of your space. When it comes to color, just think of the phrase "Go Big or Go Home!" Using bright colors on furniture will make your room pop!
Be BRAVE, step out of the box and thank me later!
XO, S!
