Colour can be scary when it comes to using it in your home’s interior design. You might love bright colours, but it can be off-putting if you’re not sure how different shades will work together or you’re worried that it might all be a bit too much and become uncomfortable. This could be why a lot of people will opt for neutral colours like grey, white, and cream, even if it’s not what they would have chosen normally. 

Your home should be a place you enjoy spending time, and if the interior design is not right, you won’t feel good being there. One option is to use those neutral colours (because they can look great and they will help if you choose to sell the property) but to add splashes of brighter colours here and there. In this way, you can ensure the colours work together and even change them when you want to. If this sounds like a good idea, read on for some useful tips to get started. 

Install Colourful Blinds 

Blinds are an ideal option for most homes as they offer a lot more privacy and flexibility compared to curtains. However, what makes them even more useful is that they can be the ideal splash of colour you need to make any room look fantastic. 

Roman blinds are a good example. These blinds are made of material and can be custom designed so you can choose any colour or even pattern that suits you. Your blinds will be a focal point if you choose something bright and bold. Make sure the same colour can be found in other fabrics around the room like cushions or a rug and it will all come together perfectly. 

Have A Feature Wall

If you’re a little nervous about painting an entire room in a bright colour, even if you love the colour itself, you can compromise by painting just one wall. This is known as a feature wall, and it can be the perfect counterbalance in a room that mostly contains neutral colours. Again, pick out the same colour in your cushions and blinds, and you’ll have a lovely cohesive look. 

You don’t have to stick to paint when it comes to your feature wall either. Many people like to put wallpaper up, and this gives them even more choice when it comes to patterns. You can even design your own wallpaper, making it entirely unique and special and ensuring that it works in your specific room. 

Update The Bathroom Tiles 

Maybe you prefer to keep your living area neutral but you still want to have some colourful splashes in your home. In that case, what about the bathroom? You could take down your boring old tiles and replace them with colourful ones instead. In a bathroom, you can go as bold as you dare and let your personality shine through because nothing has to match anything else. As long as the colour you choose looks good with your fixtures and fittings, you can do whatever you want. 

You don’t even have to replace all the tiles with colourful ones. You could replace them with mostly white tiles but throw in a bright one here and there to add some interest to the décor.
