Working With Single Accent Colors

Spring colors have a lot of life and can certainly spruce up your bedroom decor. Picking up an accent color inspired by the season and working with it in your bedroom could be a smart way to bring in spring. You can seek inspiration from the fresh blooms that will pop up nearly everywhere. As for me, there is nothing to match the magic of greens in the spring.

Patterns And Accent Colors

Once you have chosen your favorite accent color, you can use your favorite patterns and motifs to express it. For instance, you could pick up a paisley motif, a leaf motif or a flower motif. You can also work with tribal, floral or animal patterns. The idea is to use accent colors in a delicate way rather than going all bold. You can use these colorful patterns and motifs in the bedroom upholstery, wall paper, accent pieces or even your rugs and carpets.

Creating Bold Patterns On The Walls

Spring is so much about fresh blooms and intoxicating fragrances. It would be a nice idea to stencil some gorgeous flowers on your bedroom walls and bring out the artist in you. If you are too shy to do it yourself, hire professionals. With the flower motifs inscribed boldly in your bedroom decor, supplement the requisite greens in the form of upholstery and accent pieces.

A Hint Of Flora

And whilst we talk of bringing in a little bit of the outside inside artificially, why not bring in the real thing. Yes, you got it right. Usher in some real greenery, fresh bunches of flowers and spring flora. You can dress up your bedroom in base pastels and trust the flora with the spring garnish.

A Little Spring Medley

A medley of soft spring pastels could also do the trick very well. These work especially well with children bedrooms. You can use fresh mint greens, baby pinks, spring greens and soft yellows to create a melodious spring medley.

There’s no color that says passion and excitement like red.  Whether it’s a dining room, living room, bathroom, or bedroom, red is always a bold choice.  With such a powerful color, finding the perfect shade and the perfect places for red is all the more important.  So if your dream color palette involves the confident color, here are some things to consider before reaching for anything and everything red!

Set the mood with the color red

Although your first color association may be excitement, red can elicit a range of emotions from cheerful and happy to aggressive and flashy, depending on the amount and shade.  Think about your own fashion choices for a moment. You may love red, but do you wear it from head to toe every single day?  Interior design is the same way: there is always a balance between a bit of color and too much of a good thing.  The more red you use, the more energetic (or even forceful) a room will feel.  Tone back the amount and you will have the power to direct attention exactly where you want it with bursts of cheerful color, like a red piece of jewelry.  Keep your desired mood in mind as you plan your room.  No matter where you’re using red, you want your home to feel welcoming and interesting, not loud and overpowering.

The color red can bring out your style

Just like the many emotional effects of the color red, you can also create all different design styles with your color choice.  For a contemporary feel, use bright, orange-based reds only in specific pops of color against a light, neutral palette.  Bring in light fixtures, pillows, and decorative accessories to serve as the focal points.  In a more traditional design, deep, rich burgundy reds are warm and cozy.  Use them in upholstery, classic Oriental rugs, or window treatments to bring a comfortable, homey feel to your space.  For the rest of the palette, use the same deep, muted shades of other colors close by on the color wheel for a relaxing, cohesive effect.

Any way that you use it, red can transform a room into exactly what you want.  Have a clear idea of what your goal is, and embrace adventurous red!
