Lover of Color


Anyone who knows me knows I am a self proclaimed lover of color. Color can make me incredibly happy, excited and cheerful. Although my wardrobe contains all shades of the rainbow, my last home's interior design scheme did not.  My property in NH was not lacking color but my walls were relatively neutral. My living room was beige and all the other rooms were a shade of light blue or green. My reasoning behind choosing the paint colors was, as much as I love to paint, it tends to be taxing on my body so I knew I wanted to paint only once but bring color into the home by other means. The home did not get a lot of natural sunlight so I knew dark walls would not be suitable. Lastly, I knew I would be renting in the future and felt neutral colors were most appropriate.
If you love color but shy away from bright walls here are some ways to bring color into a room. These ideas are also perfect for renters too who don't have the option to paint the walls.


Use pillows. I love pillows. They are a great way to add color, texture and pattern.color

Use furniture. Don't have any fun, colorful furniture? Refinish some!

Last but not least, a colorful rug can make a neutral room pop.
