Bold Colors for Your Home: Be Fearless

When you are trying to make a bold statement in your home through your interior design, then it is wise to note that you should not go overboard. Bold does not automatically mean going over the top. This can be as simple as color saturation for the accent wall. Bold colors can also be used on textiles, furnishings and artwork.

Boldly Accentuate

You can tastefully bring in boldness into your home by determining which hues will highlight the space. Having enough natural light pouring into rooms can effortlessly brighten up any room. The darker rooms, on the other hand, can be overpowering if you allow the dimness to remain. Having a space that does not have ample lighting means you can opt for brighter and more cheerful colors. The more saturated hues will naturally reflect light.

Bold Decor

If you have bold artwork or accessories that you would want to display, then just make sure that they will not clash once they are displayed on the walls or on shelves.

Try using neutrals or whites, even shades of black as the backdrop for any bold decor or artwork.

Choose one or two colors that you can use throughout your home. The two colors should hold the rest of the interior design elements. The secret to all these is to achieve balance. Remember that a single piece of bold decor should be balanced by neutral room finish, furnishings or accessories.

Bold Yet Subdued

The greatest interior spaces are those that have both bold and subdued elements. A flaming red couch can be placed as a focal piece in the middle of a living room. The rest of the furnishings should be tame enough so that they won’t clash with the couch.

Mix traditional and trendy bold hues. You are sure to create a lovely synergy where classical lines meet with bold colors.

Do not be afraid to make a statement. Your home, after all, is the one place on the planet that you have complete dominion over so it is there that you should make a bold statement. Be sure to figure out how to install the correct lighting fixture as this can make or break the statement that you just set.

Be Fierce, Be Bold

As a homeowner, you should be fearless when it comes to painting your home or in finding the right textiles. Empty nesters are ready to embrace a bolder phase in their lives. They are the homeowners who are ready to embrace big changes in their lives. These are the people who can shake things up a bit. They could already own antiques and all they need to do now is to find transitional pieces that will balance the space. Instead of having interior design leftovers in the living room, why not create a blank canvas? Even when there are existing fireplaces, moldings and flooring; you have the freedom to use the color that motivates or excites you.

Fireplaces can be aged if you want to keep them. Hang a traditional mirror that goes all the way up to the ceiling. This can effectively bounce light from windows and light sources.

You can cap the bold statement project with an abstract piece from an artist that you know. Bring in colorful pillows but be selective about the fabric, patterns and texture.

Lacquer furniture pieces can also be used as anchor inside a usually dull room. The dark color can be used in other portions of the home. To up the level of sophistication, you can add gold-leafed trays or the most beautiful furniture pieces that have been aged.

Using bold colors and statement pieces can be fun. Just have the confidence to set your foot and define what you want.
