Welcoming color into your home

Whether you’re trying to break a beige habit or lean further into your color quest, it can be tricky to know where to begin. Here we’ve gathered ideas from an IKEA interior designer on how to let those pretty, pigmented hues into your living space in a way that works best for you.

 

Say yes to color!

 

Congratulations, you’ve gone bold on your walls. Now it’s time to layer decorative accessories in a palette that makes you smile. Try a bright red wall clock, ombre glassware or an array of cushions in colorful patterns. The idea is to make it personal with accents that instantly brighten your home.

 

A brighter storage situation

 

Who said shelving needs to be black or white? Colorful storage and easy-to-move carts in pastel hues keep a space organized yet full of personality. Or why not match your storage to your walls?

 

Mix it up or go tonal

 

Decorative pillows, bed linens and curtains add a splash of accent color to each room. Go with a bold clash in the living area if you’re not keen on a matchy-matchy vibe, or tone in with the bedroom walls for a pleasing sleep sanctuary that’s bright yet tranquil.
