Make an accent wall in your living area with a coat of paint, or add a splash of colour decor. Look for a nook to add colour, or select a larger wall that will draw attention. Choose a bright, contrasting hue from a living room cloth. Alternatively, for a subtle accent, paint the wall in the same colour palette as the rest of your walls, but a tone darker.

Add bursts of colour decor with strategically placed and well-chosen throw pillows. Choose solids for floral furnishings, patterned pillows for solid pieces, or a combination of patterns for a dazzling array of colours. You can also opt for a desi boho look with ethnic printed colourful cushions with pom poms. Experiment with different patterns and add a solid to soften the look of your master bedroom.

Nature has the most beautiful colour decor to complement your decorating ideas. Choose greenery that can thrive in low-lighting environments. You can use plants such as cactus and succulents as they require low maintenance. If you want to bring some aesthetics to your space, go for plants like nerve plants, croton, calathea or silver vase plants.

Choose a new lamp that has been revamped, or simply update a shade that adds colour and essence to a living room. Add a pair of lamps flanking a piece of art or furniture for noticeable pops of colour. Make your own lamp by upcycling items or salvaging pieces into fixtures that add a new charm to your home.

An area rug softens and warms up a space. A vibrant area rug strategically placed in front of a chair or beneath a coffee table, on the other hand, adds colour and texture to a bedroom design. Layer a contrasting-coloured area rug on your carpet or over the hardwood flooring. If you have a neutral-coloured bedroom wall, use a custom striped rug design to add colours.

Reupholstering a chair cushion is simpler than you think. Even changing out a single cushion can make a big difference in your living room. You can update a small side chair by using bold colours or patterns. A plain beige sofa would look lovely with bright printed cushions in magenta or pink.

If you have an empty wall in your bedroom, try filling it by hanging a big mirror on that bare and uninteresting wall. Select a mirror with an artistic frame. You can also add interest to your space by incorporating light and colour into your decor scheme. Add bright coloured graffitis, murals or pop arts to your wall to create a mood or atmosphere in a room.

One large and colourful piece of art introduces hues and shapes to a living space. A collection of framed photos with colourful matting and bright frames can achieve the same effect. Use bold wall art like canvas prints, framed prints and posters to create a dramatic effect in your space.

Make a plain bookcase into a work of art by painting it. There are several approaches to painting a bookcase. To add dimension to the piece and your room, paint each shelf a different colour, paint the interior and exterior two contrasting colours. Use books with bright covers and decorative items to add another level of colour to your bookcase.

Quilts, throws, and blankets are no longer just for bedrooms. When draped over the back or arm of a neutral sofa or chair in the living room, a soft handmade quilt or oversized faux fur throw or blanket adds depth, colour, and cosy comfort. Choose a bold colour contrasting with other items in the room for this must-have living room accessory.
