1. Paint your walls
Notes:
- One of the fastest and easiest ways to bring color into a room is to paint your walls. We are not talking about white or beige walls. Try using a color that can add some boldness to a room.
- Colors such as darker gray – red – Tuscany – or ocean blue. There are millions of varying shades of color that would look perfect for living, kitchen, bedroom or bathroom.
- If you are a bit hesitant to surround yourself with one color, then try a darker shade of paint on one wall with a lighter shade of the same color on an another wall. The two shades of color can make a contrasting look the pops your room.

2. Paint your ceilings
Notes:
- Most of us wouldn’t dare change our ceiling from its basic white or ivory shade. It is considered the safest choice. That’s what we’ve been taught, and you don’t want to mess with what’s not broken, right? All ceilings get dull over time, and even white-colored ceilings can yellow as the years go by.
- As a general rule, painting a ceiling white, ivory, or a light shade will open things up and allow your room to appear larger. However, you can also select a darker ceiling paint hue to make a room feel cozier and also more striking if the walls are painted white.
- Iconic model Christie Brinkley, who has an artistic eye, has often played with color to set the mood in her Hamptons estate. For instance, in her master bedroom, the walls are painted ivory while her ceiling is painted sky blue. The result is gorgeous, creative, and elegant. It is also unexpected and quite a lovely contrast.

3. Choose area rugs
Notes:
- Setting down a gorgeous area rug in every room does something special to your home, and that is, a stunning rug can anchor your space and complete the look. You could say that colorful oriental area rugs tie all of your different components together for beautiful, visual balance. These classic rugs look incredible in any space and especially, in the dining room, den, living room, and bedrooms.
- Area rugs can be used as striking layers for a room and can invite cozy warmth to your living spaces. When it comes to a color palette, the sky is the limit. Our design pros have a suggestion to choose a rug shade that complements the two or three main colors in your room.
- Here’s another tip for area rug colors: Dark, rich hues will help define an intimate space while lighter colors allow a smaller space to appear larger. By the way, for using a rug on a wood floor, it is recommended that you have at least 18 to 24 inches of flooring around the perimeter of the room.

Paint your furniture
Notes:
- Here’s another simple, subtle method for bringing a splash of color into a room in your home. Let’s be honest. Painting vintage furniture has become a hot trend in the last few years, and social media’s YouTube channel features hundreds of videos daily on creating DIY painted furniture to accent space.
- There is nothing wrong with the original finish of a furniture piece, but as it gets older and scratches and other imperfections appear, you may want to bring new life to this piece and to spruce up a room. Even adding a new color to the legs of your chairs can deliver a special punch to your decor palette.
- There are tons of simple options to consider, especially if you love that vintage curio cabinet, for example, and you don’t want to send it to the trash. Chalk paint has become a popular way of antiquing or distressing old furniture pieces.
- The colors available are stunning, and best of all, you don’t have to prep the furniture piece with sanding or priming. Chalk paint is suitable for any surface. Sometimes, a wash of vivid color over a standout furniture item can transform an entire room.
-
CONCLUSION
It doesn’t matter if your home’s modest or expensive. Every property can become boring and in need of an update. Design experts will tell you that color is often the quickest way to make an amazing change.
- Take your time, and look at the interiors of a home you like, and check out the colors of the area rugs, furniture, and ceilings in the home. Then, spin your own color wheel, and go for it!
