This is one of my favorite tips for using color: wrap your room in a neutral and bring in color strategically. This is great for people who are afraid of color or if they are the type who enjoys changing out color frequently.
You will want the walls and your main pieces of furniture like your sofa and chairs to be the neutral, be it beige or gray. Bring in your color with lamps, throw pillows, art, rug/s and drapery. You can also bring in color with occasional chairs. You can go a few ways with your accent color: you can have one, two, even three, or you can use different colors throughout. Here are some of my favorite examples I found this morning on Pinterest…follow me!
