4 Affordable Ways to Add Color to Neutral Decor

With Spring around the corner, it’s the perfect time to reassess your home’s neutral color palette.  While neutrals project a feeling of clean simplicity, when the temperatures rise and the days are longer it’s fun to brighten things up a bit.  And adding color doesn’t have to break the bank!  Today I’m sharing four easy ways to add pops of color to your spaces.

1.  Add a bright piece of accent furniture. 

Maybe it’s a new ottoman, a barstool or two, or a side table, but a small piece of furniture is the perfect way to inject a bit of color.

3.  Get colorful with your artwork. 

I have a growing love affair with bright artwork… it can absolutely transform a space without looking fussy. Psstt…. you could probably DIY a colorful abstract canvas to save your decorating dollars. 🙂
