While neutrals still dominate the vast majority of homes, we may see that a vibrant and bold trend is on the rise.
If you’re planning to introduce color into the design of your own interior, here are 22 ideas on how to go about it in the most stylish ways.
1. Start Small
If you’re unsure about transforming the entire living room, start with a few key elements.
Maybe the decor or a new couch. It’s best to introduce colors slowly unless you have a clear vision of the place.
2. Cultivate a Rainbow Theme
Incorporate the bold rainbow palette in the design of your living room to truly embrace the colorful theme.
3. Go Yellow
Yellow is a popular choice for interiors, as it’s fun, vibrant, and easy to style.
Combine various shades of yellow in your living room to turn it into a proper mood-boosting space.
4. Refreshing Theme
Colorful doesn’t only have to mean overwhelming, bold colors. It can entail a zesty, refreshing palette that will make for a rich yet clean living room.
5. Stained Glass Accents
Stained glass has been a major trend in the past, and we have the privilege to watch as it comes back.
Place it on or near your window to get the lovely suncatcher effect!
6. Metallic Highlights
Whether gold or silver, these metallic accents count as colors. They provide shine and a chic appeal to any interior.
And an enormous plus – they reflect the surrounding colors!
7. Retro Inspiration
What we all love about the 70s and 80s aesthetic is the sudden influx of bold colors they introduced into fashion and interior design alike.
Pay homage to those fun decades by emulating their style in your own living room.
8. Exotic Elements
Many cultures around the world are marked by the strong colors their people incorporated in their art, clothes, and homes.
Look for inspiration in ethnic designs and introduce some of them into your own home.
9. Dreamy Pastels
If you wish to find the perfect middle ground between a colorful happy place and soft surroundings, go pastel.
Pastels will make your lounge just as vibrant and fun as any other palette, but they will also allow it to stay a relaxing haven.
10. Colorful Statement
Combine pastels, neutrals, and a single splash of bold color for an extra stylish end result.
11. Shades of Purple
Do you have a favorite color?
Mine are green and blue, and let me tell you, they’re all over my living room.
Pick two or three colors that you’d love to be surrounded by and create a fun theme in your space.
12. Create Contrast
Play it safe by keeping the colors generally on the soft side and using a single element to introduce strong contrast.
You’ll end up with a stylish and bold living room.
13. Animal Prints
Though generally considered a bit tacky, no one can deny that animal prints are fun.
And they’re an ideal way to incorporate bold colors in your living room design.
14. Warm Shades
You may opt to go for more muted colors if you’re after a serene or moody aesthetic.
15. Shading
Have you considered shading your wall paint?
Play around with different effects until you reach one bold enough.
16. Colorful Art
The age-old classic for introducing color into an interior is wall art.
17. Use a Wallpaper
A fun, floral wallpaper will immediately qualify your living room as colorful.
Match the palette of your furniture when choosing one for the optimal effect.
18. Gold & Olive
Do you want a colorful space, but also a classy one?
Stick to the elegant palette of gold, cream, and olive. If you’re up for it, spice it all up with some bold turquoise here and there.
19. Colorful Industrialism
Industrialism doesn’t have to be all black and gray shades.
Combine the style’s trademark elements with a bold color to make it fun.
20. Mustard
One of the most elegant hues is found somewhere on the border between soft yellow and green.
Transform your living room into a delicate and unique space by incorporating this color.
21. Accent Rug
Much like wall art and wallpapers, rugs are another traditional way to bring a color accent to an interior.
22. Include Patterns
From the curtains and throw pillows down to upholstery, use every inch of your space to include fun, colorful patterns.
In Conclusion
Trends come and go, but what stays is the effect that different colors have on our senses and moods.
As a matter of fact, color theory claims that seeing vibrant colors can make us more resistant to stress and negative feelings overall.
They can help reduce anxiety, which results in a wholly better quality of life.
