How to Pull off a Colorful Home
Anyone can pull off anything… but they gotta have some confidence.
You have to have some confidence to have the home of your dreams! Want a pink velvet couch? Floral wallpaper? A chandelier made of blue glass? Go for it! If you love it- then it’s already perfect.
Before starting with any of my rooms, I always pick out one bold main piece like a rug, bedspread, a large art piece, etc… Then I pick a color with the least amount on the piece. For example in our master bedroom I used the rug as my starting piece. The rug is full of colors but the teal color seemed to be the least noticeable, so I got teal pillows and blankets. It goes for every color in the main piece, if there was tons of yellow in the rug then I would just do small accents of yellow in the room.
My top tips for a colorful home:
- Pinterest is your BFF. Inspiration is the best way to get started, find out what colors you like!
- Don’t try to recreate your Pinterest inspo. Have your personality show through- it will make you so happier in the long run than recreating a photo.
- Pinks always go together! There can never be too much of your favorite color!
- Don’t follow trends. They fade quickly, make sure you’re doing what you actually love, not what might be cool at the moment.
- Never forget animal print is a must- read about that here.
