Transforming your home can be as simple as adding a fresh coat of paint to the walls. What a difference a bold new color can make! From adding an accent wall to painting a pattern, here are some of the easiest ways to add a pop of color into your home.
1. Neutral Color Blocks
Going neutral doesn’t mean you have to compromise your color choices. Go a little bolder with an orange-hued color block that adds a pop of color but keeps the rest of the room neutral through the selection of muted accessories and furniture. Add sunny spots with chairs, lamps, pillows and throw rugs for a sophisticated yet crisp look that works for any room in the house.
2. Stripes
When you think of stripes, you may automatically think of bold circus-tent patterns that are offensive to the eye. But you can achieve the striped look with tone-on-tone color schemes to liven up your plain walls without the color shock. Try soft shades of green and blue for a minty look, using tape to ensure straight, seamless lines. Vary it up even more by doing one stripe in glossy paint and one stripe flat.
3. Patches of Paint
This is an innovative painting technique that lends a contemporary feel to anything from dining rooms to living rooms. Mark off different shapes of squares and rectangles on the wall and fill in each with paints reflecting the same color family for uniformity yet chaos at the same time, says Better Homes and Gardens.
4. Linen Textures
Using a linen weaver tool, some textured linen glaze, and paint, you can breathe new, multi-dimensional life into your textiles on anything from furniture to walls to doors.
5. Crinkle Painting
This technique involves mixing paint with glaze and rolling over a base followed by pressing and bunching the mixture with plastic sheets.
6. Two-Tone Walls
By incorporating two bold colors, such as bright pink and green, you are already causing a color sensation for the eyes. Go a step further and artistically apply peel-and-stick circles and wooden rings in a variety of hues for even more of a rejuvenating look.
7. Dressed-Up Blinds
Who says paint has to stay on the walls? Dress up your blinds with rows of creative stamped designs to create a lasting, unique look that complements the surrounding room. Leaf designs, geometric patterns, swirls and stripes all make beautiful accents to an otherwise boring room.
