4 Ways to Introduce Color Into Your Home

1.) Start Small - If you’re afraid to go bold, try starting in the smallest room. It’s not as much of a commitment, plus you’ll spend less time and money.


2.) It’s Okay to Mismatch - Subtle differences in hues make for a more sophisticated palette.


3.) Choose One Color, But Use Many Hues - Rather than limit yourself to one shade, enhance the look of your space with hues that pick up the overall color.


4.) Add Contrast to a Neutral Palette - If you plan to use neutrals (e.g. cream, brown) in your space, up the ante with elements that will add both style and personality.
