Designing with pops of color makes me a happier person. I love mixing color and pattern whenever possible. I also appreciate a lovely minimalist space with monochromatic drama, but at the end of the day, give me some color, add in a splash of pattern and top it off with a touch of texture and you've won my heart over.
So lets take a look at some beautiful rooms from Entirely Eventful Day to hopefully inspire you to start designing with bright, fun pops of color.
There are so many ways to bring color in: fabric, paint, accessories, furniture, rugs, drapery... I am here to say that bringing in some color in all these areas can work, and can be beautiful. You don't need to limit the application to only one area.
Funky armchairs and stylish sofas are a great starting off place to inject some color, pattern or texture to your room.
The mixed floral patterns on the accent chair are accentuated by a bold graphic pillow, while the solid blue sofa carries mixed patterned pillows that bring in the style of the chair.
Even with everything going on in this space, it all works because it is all happy, bright and fun, and utilizes red as an underlying common thread.
In this makeshift home office, it's the accessories that bring the punctuation to the design sentence. Bold, patterned bags layer on top of inspiration boards and a big bunch of wildflowers.
The white background for this fresh color explosion makes this mid-century modern space feel all at once vintage and contemporary.
Choosing one bold color per room can also make a big, bold statement. This hutch is painted the most amazing shade of blue, and takes center stage in the design.
However, a small peek of sunshine yellow, patterned drapery sneaks in from the next room, and is perfectly complimented with the bright yellow flowers and candies on the shelf.
