Your home's color palette is beige, or brown, or cream... or maybe even black. You threw in a few colors, like red, green, or yellow... so did everyone else.
You succeeded in the basic concepts of design - start with the base colors and add the accent colors so that they are interchangable... in other words, trendy and inexpensive enough to trade-out when the next trend comes. Browns and blacks are pretty much essential base colors for a living space. But, why not go bold?!
Our suggestion: re-upholster or add a slip cover in an accent color to that couch or chair, and accent it with beige, brown, or black pillows with a mix of shades and textures (shiny, fuzzy, embroidered, looped, and so on). The red-green-yellow Mediterranean is over-used these days. If that's your color-scheme of choice, pump it up by focusing on one of the colors over the others.
Repaint that red accent wall a creamy butter yellow and add varying yellow accents around the room. You can do this inexpensively by repainting some picture frames, or adding an area rug in the butter hue.
If you mix up the shades of yellow (or your preferred color), your palette becomes multidimensional. Try to stay away from the matchy-matchy same colored pieces.
Simply Put... your outdated design scheme can be updated by focusing on a single color and by mixing up your base colors with your accent colors.
Upcoming blog... navy and white is a trend again... but does that mean your theme is automatically nautical?
