Easy Ways To Add Color To Your Home

If you’ve been stuck in the all-beige-everything design trend for a while now, you may have the itch to add color to your home. The good news is, even though it may seem overwhelming to add color to your home, if you start slowly, it can be really easy! Eventually you may even turn into a color maximalist – I’m not sure that’s really a thing, but maybe it should be.

Here are some easy ideas to help you add color to your home:

Houseplants

The easiest way to add color to your home is with houseplants. Plants add beautiful green life to an otherwise dull area.  Just find a spot with enough light for the plant you want and, boom, you will have a nice pop of color.

If you’re intimidated by houseplants, that’s okay! Head to a local nursery and ask the employees for suggestions for beginner-friendly plants. They can guide you on the right plant for your space, considering factors like light, humidity, and your lifestyle. I find that the people who work at plant stores are usually the nicest, most helpful people and will point you in the right direction.

Head to the garden for a fresh bouquet

If you’re not ready to commit to houseplants, consider brightening up your space with fresh blooms. Arranging a bouquet of vibrant, colorful, fresh-cut flowers is a delightful way to add color to your home. And if you’re lucky enough to have a blooming garden, why not bring some of that natural beauty indoors? After all, what could be better than free, nature-inspired home decor?

Adding artwork will add color to your home

Art is a versatile tool to add color to your home.  It can serve as a stand-out focal point that influences the rest of your decor, or it can blend into its surroundings, adding a subtle touch of color.  Whichever way you choose to use it, art has the power to add character to any corner of your home.

The best part about artwork is that there is so much to choose.  With online retailers like Society 6 making art accessible to most budgets, finding art that works with your home design has never been easier. You can find unique and affordable pieces like prints, posters, or even digital downloads.  However, if you’re looking for a more permanent piece, visit local art festivals or craft fairs where local artists sell their work.  Buying from a local artist helps make your home look better and helps your community – a win-win!

Don’t forget to dress up the floors

Rug under $50

Whether you have carpet, hardwood, or tile, sometimes the floors need a little bit more dressing up.  Flooring tends to be an area in the home that just blends in, but it doesn’t have to be that way.  Placing accent rugs throughout your home is an excellent way to add color to your home while also defining spaces which makes home design easier.

Rugs come in all sizes, colors, and price points so finding the perfect rug for your space should not be an issue. If you have kids or pets, you’ll want to make sure to purchase a rug that is durable and washable.

Switch out your backsplash

If you’re willing to take on a more challenging project, head to the kitchen! It’s time to say goodbye to the white subway-tiled backsplash and bring in some color. A colorful and unique backsplash will completely transform the space.

Beautiful glass mosaic or sparkly Zelige tiles will instantly elevate your kitchen and bring it back to life. This project is actually a lot easier than it looks. Depending on the size of your kitchen, you can easily complete this project in a weekend. You’ll be amazed at how a feature often an afterthought can transform a space and add color into your home.
