Home Decor Tips: “Pops” of Color to Wake Up a Room


Now that spring is coming soon, our minds and hearts turn to nature’s glorious return to living color, most notably in the many fragrant flowers in bloom. Whether wild on the trees or bursting forth in your garden, these joyous plants are perfect for arranging in vases indoors. Why do we do that? Well, designers well understand the appeal of “pops” of color. It actually comes from the world of cosmetic: just the right shade of eyeshadow, lipstick, etc. Sounds like your favorite fruit treat from the ice-cream truck, doesn’t it? Well, with skillful use of home furniture and accents, you can add the same sense of childlike fun and wonder to a formerly lackluster space. Better still, your decor choices won’t wilt!

One or Two Bright Home Furniture Pieces for Optimum Pop Color

Let’s start where your visitors do in your home: the living room. Too often people are afraid to explore color possibilities here with living room furniture or home accents, fearing to appear too loud or garish. That’s where pop color comes in perfectly. Less is more! For example, accent chairs need not fade into the background in beige or earth tones. Liven things up with one or two in electric, notice-me hues from Kelly green to vivid teal to sherbet orange! These pieces then form an elegant counterpoint to the sofa and table that are most (but not all) living rooms’ centerpieces.

Colorful Bedding for Just the Right Amount of Pop

Your bedroom furniture is a canvas for self-expression with that vast underused space atop the bed itself. That goes just as much for kids’ beds. Try accent pillows and coverlets in wild colors such as magenta or lime green to add some “kick” to your boudoir’s style.

Remember, the goal is simply “pop,” not loudness. When it comes to bright home furniture and bedding to wake up your home decor, our neighbors know to come to our St. Stephens Church, VA store. You’ll love what you find!
