HOW TO INTRODUCE COLOURS INTO YOUR ROOM USING AN ARTWORK AS A GUIDE?

FEELING YOUR ROOM IS A LITTLE TOO BEIGE? Bring colour into a neutral room by starting small with easily swappable decor elements like throw pillows, ART, and rugs before committing to larger changes.

  1. Pick a Color Palette
    - Find a multi-coloured anchor: Use a patterned rug, a piece of artwork, or a throw blanket that already contains multiple shades you love as your main guide.
    - Look in your closet: Check your wardrobe for colours you wear often; if you like wearing them, you will likely enjoy living with them.
    - Popular pairings: Olive, burnt orange, navy blue, and emerald green add rich contrast to grey and beige spaces.


2. Start with Small Accents

- Swap textiles: Add colourful throw pillows and a cozy blanket to your sofa or chairs.
- Hang statement art: Place a bold, colourful painting or print on a prominent neutral wall.
- Style surfaces: Display colourful glass vases, ceramic bowls, books, or fresh flowers on coffee tables and shelves. 

3. Make Bigger Statements
- Add a vibrant rug: Anchor your furniture with a large colourful or patterned area rug to transform the floor plane.
- Incorporate nature: Bring in leafy green plants or fresh floral arrangements, which add organic life and a natural pop of colour.
- Paint an accent piece: Paint an interior door, a single accent wall, or the inside of a bookshelf a bold, unexpected hue. 

One more thing, frame is equally important. Come to your framer, they are experts.

Can you see the difference that these 2 frames make you feel?


Neutrals: Black and white frames work universally; black adds contrast and depth, while white suits bright or minimalist pieces.
Coordinating tones: Pick a subtle secondary or background color from the artwork rather than matching the dominant hue directly. 

 

Happy decorating.
