ToggleHow do you do that in bold color?
To keep your bold colors sophisticated, pick shades that aren’t overly bright. Opt for bold paint colors with muted tones for a visually calming effect. Additionally, determine your level of commitment to the colors you’ve chosen by containing them in a small room like a powder room or laundry room, maybe even a closet if you’re not too sure that you want to go all in. Now, if you haven’t decided if you want to make that huge leap for a bold color for your living room or another exterior room that people actually see, experiment first with accessories that are that color, like pillows, bedding, and throws. You can easily brighten up a space by adding a bold and colorful piece of accent furniture, which can make the room feel cheerful and lively.
Number two is the new neutral.
Now, a navy blue color scheme on your walls can actually almost act as a neutral backdrop that can just about pair with almost every other color. Experiment with bold blue color combinations like hot pink, pale blue, bright red, or grass green to create dynamic and vibrant looks. I mean, the sky is literally the limit. Your room will pop with the perfect amount of contrast thanks to all of that soothing navy blue. So if you want an easy update, it’s easy to decorate with bold colors without spending a lot of money. Just switch out the lamp shades or try an interesting throw. You can save money by buying frames from a thrift store and spray painting them yourself for a low-cost solution.
Number three: the solution to your problem is all in a can of paint.
Experimenting with bold colors in smaller spaces like hallways or powder rooms or a vintage piece of furniture that’s gotten a fresh lease on life with new paint can be a low-cost solution. You can quickly refresh anything you already own by painting it with bold colors. When you’re ready for a change, just grab a can of paint and get started.
Number four: mix and match patterns in bold color.
Carefully choosing and combining different patterns can add even more interest to your bold living room. Follow these tips for mixing and matching patterns effectively.Sync out unique styles like black and white geometric curtains and an accent wall. Use cool neutrals as the foundation for eclectic patterns or create a bohemian-inspired living room furnished with pattern upholstery and accents. Distribute patterns evenly in your room, and you can use anywhere from one to three different patterns. One word of caution though: don’t place too many patterns on top of each other; sometimes, it can really disrupt the harmony.
Number five: play with shapes and sizes.
Choosing pieces of furniture and decor that vary in size and shape can prevent your living room from looking too clinical and dull.No one wants to actually live in a doctor’s office, so make sure it features a range of shapes and sizes.
Another great tip would be to carefully choose your home accessories.
Just as you want to go bold with the colors and patterns, you want to go bold with your home decor choices as well. A bold artwork or accessory will surely stand out when placed on a neutral palette of whites or blacks, but just be sure to balance bold decor with neutrals in your furnishings and living room finishes. So if you’re going for a bright fuchsia room, for instance, you can definitely go bold with your artwork, or you can go for more subdued artwork and let your walls really do the accessorizing for you.
And one of my last tips would be to stick with the bold color theme.
Going big and bold doesn’t mean going chaotic. If you want to decorate with a ton of colors, choose artwork and patterns that work really well together. While you can’t always stick to the pieces made by one artist, you can create cohesion and harmony in your living room or any other room of choice by choosing pieces that feature similar colors, shapes, and motifs.
