While the current neutral decor trend is lovely, I must say I’m always impressed by the homes of those courageous enough to use bright colors. They can be daunting to many, but when you see a room that truly stands out, it is both memorable and inviting. These images show some artful ways of using color to create magic. Try a pop or two today!
No more pillows in sets of two! Try several colorful cushions that are different but play nicely together.
You can even add some color in the bath! This ultra-feminine tub and shower combo is a fun way to liven up a restroom.
Nowhere are they better at using color than in Palm Beach! This veranda is a masterful mix of lovely shades and furniture styles.
Classic American colors blend well in this dining room. The red Chinoiserie chairs and other accents are stunning.
This room uses the couch as inspiration for the other colors. Estate sale finds can be painted or upholstered to match.
There are many fun wallpapers that can add color to any room. I love how this paper pairs with the other bright accents.
Emerald green velvet is the essence of elegance. Look how gorgeous it is in this eclectic living room.
I love this use of green in a kitchen. The wallpapered ceiling, painted island and antique plates add color without taking over.
This library in peacock blue with red and gold accents is a knockout. The trim and walls are painted in a high-gloss finish.
Jonathan Adler is always courageous with color. I love his mix of hues, shapes and accessories in this living room.
This dining room reads ‘modern but playful.’ A burst of colors from the carpet and a touch of blue in the chairs do the trick.
Who would’ve thought that coral walls, a Turkish rug, a black and white stair runner and eclectic art could work so well together?
