May you…use a bold color in home décor! I’m here to answer with a resounding “yes!” And why not? Go for it… YOLO, right?
Changing your paint color is the fastest way to transform a room and create a particular mood. This is a great way to freshen your home, update your style and transform your experience of living in your home.
Start by asking yourself, “How do I want to feel when I’m in this room?” Once you have the mood your going for start looking for that saturated, Rich, indulgent color that makes your heart sing.
Bright colors create a sense of energy and are great for offices or workout spaces. Warm colors are welcoming and create a cozy environment for family rooms and other entertaining spaces. Cool colors are calming and really great for relaxing or moody spaces.
May you paint the whole room in that color? Yes! If you do, make sure that you have some complimentary colors in furnishings and accessories to help balance that bold primary color.
May you just paint one wall in that color? Yes! That is definitely a way to use a bold color that you love without the anxiety of “what if it isn’t what I thought and I hate it?”. I recommend you paint your other walls in the same hue with a much lighter saturation of color. The rule about complimentary colors still applies.
If you aren’t sure you want to dive headfirst into Emerald, Fuschia or Sapphire walls, spend some time looking at Pinterest, Instagram and Houzz photos of those colors. I assure you, if you are just continually drawn to those gorgeous saturated colors on those websites, there is definitely a way to make it work in your home too.
Enlist the help of a professional if your just to timid to make the leap. It is a process for sure. But you will only regret never having tried it.
Your decor should welcome you home with a big, warm, welcoming visual hug as soon as you walk in.
