5 Inspiring Ideas to Make a Vibrant Living Room
Just like having an all-white or all-black or one color wardrobe may seem boring, unimpressive and unexciting to you, the same is the case with living rooms done in either neutrals or monochromatic tones. It might look timeless, versatile, chic and elegant but if that’s not your inner style or if you don’t resonate with the subtle tones, you’ll not feel satisfied with it for a long time. Playing with colors is not everyone’s cup of tea for sure, but if you like the idea of colors brimming in your living room then don’t be scared of how it will unfold, in fact take a leap of faith and do what you truly feel connected with, trust me you’ll enjoy it more.
There are
definitely many interesting, subtle and less intimidating ways to introduce
colors in your living area with elements like decorative pillows, throws, large area rugs,
lamp shades and curtain treatment. If the colors are mixed and matched
correctly, used in a way that highlights the main features and gives out a
modern vibe without being too aggressive or in-you-face then nothing can be
more beautiful. Your living area will become a perfect place to sit together with
friends and family and enjoy. Presenting colors in your living area doesn’t
mean you have to start from the scratch, you can make that change happen even
with a small revamping project.
If you have
finally embraced your inner style and accepted that you love vibrant, bold and
eclectic color range in your living room, you should read further on to gather
some inspiration to start playing with colors. Below we have 5 beautiful ideas
to incorporate colors into your scheme of things.
1. Bold Furniture Piece
The best way to
strike a perfect balance between color and refinement is to place a bold
colored furniture piece against a neutral backdrop. This move will make the
bold colored furniture piece pop out and become a centre of attention while
everything else will be neutral and subtle. For example, you can place a green,
blue, purple, tangerine or maroon color sofa and compliment it with decorative
pillows Tulsa in order to add personality, charm and color to the
space. This way the living room will no longer be boring or look all washed
out.
2. Go for an Accent Wall
Earlier I told
you to make the backdrop neutral and let the furniture piece shine, but you can
also reverse the situation. Opt for a neutral-colored sofa or furniture piece
and set it against an accent wall that can either be painted in a bold color or
have a vibrant wallpaper to add life through colors. It’s not necessary that
the background wall can only be the accent wall, you can make any wall of the
living room an accent wall as long as it is visible and add to the feel of the
room. You can take inspiration from this wall from your decorative
pillows, rugs, or even your curtain treatment.
3. Throw Decorative Cushions
If an accent wall
or a furniture piece is too much commitment for you but you still want to test
colorful waters then I feel tossing a few vibrant, bold and exciting decorative
pillows to the mix will do the trick. Even if your room is neutral colored and
so is your furniture and curtains you can still choose decorative pillows Tulsa
in beautiful floral prints, quirky graphic designs and patterns that add bursts
of colors in the most perfect way. Choose a bunch of cushions, place them
strategically in odd numbers, mix and match prints, patterns and solid colors
to create a perfect, fun and dazzling display of colors.
4. Bring Colors from Beneath
A bold, colorful
and vivacious area rug is a perfect way to add colors to your living room
décor. Area rugs bring warmth, textural complexity and coherence to the décor but
if you play this card right, you’ll be able to introduce beautiful colors in
the most amazing way. You can either opt for a large area rug that spreads
across the entire conversation area or you can go for small area rugs under
different furniture pieces to add small pops of colors.
5. Hang an Audacious Art Work
Hanging a bold
artwork is an amazing way to introduce colors to your living area. You can
either choose one big life-size artwork in abstract style or graffiti style in
order to bring an array of colors to the mix or you can also group together
various sizes of paintings to make a montage of painting. These paintings can
be DIY projects, paint by numbers canvas or pictures. Get them framed in
beautiful frame work and highlight them with picture lighting to enhance the
feel of colors.
Putting it
Together
Playing with
colors in an all-important room like a living room is definitely a daring step
but totally worth it. The colors will augment other elements of the room and
bring them together in harmony.
