How to Add Colorful Accents to the Room

You know what interior designers and savvy homeowners are truly afraid of?

A lifeless monotony of colors and patterns in a room!

It is true. No matter how expensive the wall paint and how luxurious the sofa set is, the choice of colors and patterns can truly make it all look dull and boring. That is where the concept of accents comes from. Accents are used to spice up the whole theme with something different or bolder from the rest of the theme.

Accents are commonly used in various manners, but as common as they are, the probability of doing it wrong is also very high. Adding accents is an art and you need to be very careful when going about it. It doesn’t mean adding a completely different color or style of a sofa. In fact, the desired effect can sometimes be achieved with minimum efforts.

So, here is a brief guide that will help you master the art of adding accents.

Get Accent Pillows for Sofa
Luxury decorative pillows are always a great way to showcase your great taste in design and decor. We always advise going bolder with highly contrasting colors and patterns as compared to the rest of the room. However, if the room is already full of bold and brights, you can use soft and subtle solid colors or black and white animal prints to tame it down a bit. 

Make a Pillar Stand Out
You don’t have to buy an expensive sculpture to make a certain corner stand out as an accent. The classiest way to do that is to paint one of the pillars in the room in a completely different color of a different shade of the same hue. You can match the color with the accent pillows for sofa.

Wallpaper for One Wall
If the room doesn’t have a pillar that is visible, you can turn a whole wall into an accent. With walls, you don’t have to go with extreme contrast. You can play it safe and add wallpaper with the same color as the paint or paper but a different pattern.

A Horizontal Bar of Distinction
And if you are not in the mood for much drama, effort, or expense, try painting a horizontal line stretching all across the room. Again, you can choose a contrasting hue or a different shade of the same color. You will be surprised by the difference one simple line can make.

So, make sure you break the monotony with accents and luxury decorative pillows you think will work best for your needs and requirements.

Stay colorful!
