4 Clever & Creative Ways To Add Color To Your Space

Want ways to add color without having to paint the walls?  I absolutely love to dream up cool new ways to introduce color into my rooms.  It’s important to be able to switch out colors to go with the seasons or just to update the look.  Here are 4 quick and easy ways to add a punch of color to your space without spending a day painting the walls or overpowering your design!

Paint the inside of a bookcase.  It’s ten-times quicker (in most cases) than painting walls and it offers up a chance to go with a bolder color you may want all over the walls.  You could also choose a color in different tones of an existing color in the room to complement.

Display magazines with colorful covers.  I am a self-professed magazine junkie for many reasons.  All of my HGTV mags (and other home decor magazines) have the best covers for displaying in your room.  You can search Amazon for creative display racks to hang on the walls or use storage bins to show off the glossy covers of color.

Use color mattes in your picture frames.  They say pictures are worth a thousand words, well they can also be worth a thousand opportunities to add color to your space!  Don’t stick to just hanging them on the wall, you can dress up a desk, coffee table or kitchen countertop with these easy breezy design jewels!

Hang blankets on the wall.  Every room can use a soft colorful blanket!  Blankets are a requirement in every space in my home!  Not only do they cozy up the room, they are perfect for adding waves of luscious color!  Get creative by using a ladder propped up on a wall or buy door knobs to hang them in a row above a comfy chair. 

When its all said and done, color is the one element of design that can easily and creatively be applied just about anywhere without breaking the bank.  Use these ideas to get you started and see how adding color to your space in clever ways can get you a fresh new look.  Enjoy coloring!
