5 Simple Ways to Transform Your Living Room With Colour
As a Designer, I know that colour can make a huge impact on the look and feel of a space. If you're looking to refresh your living room, adding pops of colour can be a great way to do it. Here are five simple ways to transform your living room with colour.
1. Accent Walls
Painting an accent wall is a great way to add a bold pop of colour to your living room without overwhelming the space. Choose a colour that complements your existing decor and paint one wall to create a focal point in the room.
You can also add wallpaper to create an accent wall with a unique pattern or texture. Another option is to use wall decals or stickers to create a fun and colourful design.
2. Throw Pillows
Throw pillows are an easy and affordable way to add colour to your living room. Choose pillows in complementary colours and patterns to create a cohesive look. Mix and match different sizes and shapes to add visual interest, and don’t be afraid to experiment with textures like velvet or fur.
3. Area Rugs
An area rug can add colour and texture to your living room. Choose a rug in a bold colour or pattern to make a statement, or opt for a neutral rug with a colourful border to add a subtle pop of colour. Make sure to choose a rug that is the right size for your space, and consider layering rugs for added depth and texture.
4. Window Treatments
Window treatments can be a great way to add colour to your living room. Choose curtains or blinds in a bold colour or pattern to create a focal point in the room. You can also opt for sheer curtains in a light and airy colour to let in natural light while adding a touch of colour.
5. Accessories
This is my favourite area as I like to change these up periodicaly with with the change of seasons, holidays or just because. Accessories like vases, lamps, and artwork can add colour and interest to your living room. Choose pieces in colours that complement your existing decor to create a cohesive look. Consider adding a statement piece like a colourful chandelier or a bold piece of artwork to create a focal point in the room.
By using these five simple tips, you can easily transform your living room with colour. Don't be afraid to experiment with bold colours and patterns to create a space that reflects your personality and style.
As a Designer, I always recommend starting with a colour scheme that inspires you. Look for inspiration in nature or in your favourite artwork, and use that as a starting point for your living room makeover. Consider using a colour wheel to help you choose complementary colours, or use an online tool to create a mood board that showcases your favourite colour palette.
In addition to adding colour, consider layering different textures and materials to create a more dynamic and interesting space. Mix and match different fabrics like linen, velvet, and leather, and incorporate natural materials like wood and stone for added texture and depth.
Remember, the key to a successful living room makeover is to have fun and experiment with different colours, textures, and patterns. Don't be afraid to take risks and try something new – you might be surprised at how much you love the end result!
