How to add colour to your interior without going overboard

Dreaming of a colourful interior but worried about going too far? Good news: it's entirely possible to introduce colour and character to your space without turning it into a permanent carnival. The key is to subtly and skillfully incorporate pops of colour, creating a stylish, personal interior that’s easy to update over time.

Here are a few tips to get you started:

  1. Start with Accessories
    Cushions, curtains, rugs, and decorative items are perfect for adding a splash of colour without long-term commitment. The best part? You can swap them out seasonally or as trends change without breaking the bank. 

  2. Highlight a Single Wall
    Painting just one wall in a bold hue can energise the room without overwhelming it. Afraid you’ll tire of it? A quick coat of paint can easily refresh the look! 

  3. Play with Contrasts
    Pairing neutral tones with bright accents creates a balanced and sophisticated effect. For example, a grey sofa can be elevated with yellow or blue cushions for a chic and lively look. 

  4. Choose Colourful Furniture
    A vibrant armchair, chair, or coffee table can transform a space. The idea is to make it a focal point without dominating the room. 

  5. Incorporate Artwork
    Paintings and prints are simple yet effective ways to bring colour to your walls. They add personality and can be easily swapped out when you’re ready for a change. 

  6. Plants and Nature
    Not only do plants bring life into your home, but they also add a range of greens that can complement almost any colour palette. 

The goal is to create a home that reflects your personality while remaining adaptable and flexible. Colour should be an invitation to joy, not a constraint.

So, ready to introduce a bit of colour into your life without overdoing it?
