Tips for Decorating with Bold Colour
Five bold ways to decorate your home with colour
When it comes to decorating, neutral colours tend to be the go-to choice, but we have news for you: It doesn’t have to be! From painting a whole room to statement pieces, adding bold colours inside your home adds a unique sense of character.
However, bold doesn’t necessarily have to mean rich or saturated tones. The idea of adding bold colour in your home is to make a statement – without completely dominating the space.
So, if you’re a fan of interiors with bold accents and want to find inspiration for decorating your home with flair, we’ve got some great tips for you.
Ready to get started? Let’s take a look at five ways to decorate your home with bold colour:
1. Use a statement piece
We’re pretty sure it goes without saying, but when you first begin adding bold colour into your home, it’s a great idea to start with a statement piece.
However, taking the time to choose the piece you’d like while looking into what tones work best with it will ensure the space feels balanced and well throughout.
Remember, a statement piece acts as a focal point without taking over a space entirely – this could be achieved by mixing a pre-owned, boldly-coloured, vintage armchair (because we love a sustainably designed home) with a more neutral backdrop, for example.
2. Transform a room with wall art
It’s no secret that a stunning piece of art hung on your wall instantly brightens a space. However, we can tend to play it safe when it comes to choosing the style of artwork we want in our homes.
This is your sign to try something new and opt for a vibrant piece of quality artwork (from Collécte, if you’re not sure where to start), and curate a beautiful space that’s inspired by the piece.
3. Experiment with smaller accents
Not quite ready to bite the bullet on a statement piece yet? No worries, we’ve got a crafty, cost-effective solution for you.
From boldly coloured throws to beautifully patterned pillows, try experimenting with smaller accents in a room to see what you like.
Another great way to use smaller accents in your home is seasonally. This means every season, you can change out your pillows, throws and smaller decor pieces to suit the season – and give your home an instant refresh every few months.
4. Go all in with colour
Yes, an accent wall is typically considered one of the most prominent ways to add bold colour to your home, but have you considered a whole room?
Adding full colour to your room, while pairing it with more neutral pieces, brings a breath of contemporary fresh air into your home.
Oh, and contrary to popular belief, a coloured room doesn’t have to be just one bold colour. Consider experimenting with layered tones, contrasting shades, patterns or even wallpaper to suit your space.
5. Anchor with a vibrant rug
Sometimes, all a room needs is an anchor, and what better way to ground a space than with a gorgeous rug? Yes, it really is that simple.
A great way to achieve this look is by using a vibrant rug that features subtle tones or colours of other room elements to pull it all together and bring cohesion to the space.
Just like other smaller, boldly-coloured accents, a well-considered rug can make all the difference in creating a contemporary, beautifully-designed home.
