How to Add Bold Colors to Your Home Without Regret

 

Look, we get it - beige is safe.
But does anyone ever walk into a beige room and go, “Wow, this really pops!”? No. The fear of screwing up with bold colors is real, but so is the boredom of living in a neutral void.

Here’s how you can add bold, vibrant colors to your home without feeling like you live in a circus tent.

 

Pick One Color to Rule Them All

Let’s not go full Jackson Pollock right out of the gate. Choose one bold color - like emerald green or mustard yellow - and work it into your space with accents like throw pillows, rugs, or wall art. Once you feel comfortable, you can crank it up with a statement wall or larger furniture pieces.

Balance, Baby!

Bold doesn’t mean chaotic. For every pop of color, add neutral tones or textures to keep things grounded. If you’re going for a hot pink chair, balance it with a cream-colored sofa or a wooden coffee table. It’s all about not overwhelming your senses every time you walk into a room.

Test Before You Commit

(We’re Not Monsters)

Before you go wild and paint an entire room deep navy, test it. Grab some paint swatches or sample-size cans to try out on small sections. Also, pro tip: colors look different depending on the time of day, so check it in different lighting before you decide to cover a whole wall.
