Use Bright Throw Pillows to Enliven Furniture

If your seats look old and you can’t afford to buy other ones, don’t despair. Decorate them with bright pillows in colors like yellow, orange, pink, and red. You can swap the pillow covers seasonally to change the look of the room. Another great idea is to make pillow covers with silhouettes of family members. It is a simple DIY project you will enjoy.

Don’t Forget Window Treatments

Many people tend to forget their window treatments when decorating. Don’t be one of them. Drapes and curtains take up a lot of space and can dictate the look of a room. In order to create a coordinated look, choose window treatments which have at least one common color with the other accents.

Paint an Accent Wall

Bright paint can wake up a wall. If you want to emphasize a theme or draw attention to your treasured features, paint a single wall in a room. It is an excellent way to add vibrant color to your home. You can create a striking effect by using a fun pattern like polka dots. If you really want to be creative, try an ombre design.
