Don’t have two different colors touching.
Bright colors in this modern, yet classic home are broken up with white. Notice how the whimsical wall design mirrors the colors in the window panes without overwhelming the eye.
Save bold color for accent pieces or to highlight architectural features.
Color can be a powerful design element at your disposal when it comes to accenting or highlighting features in your home. This chevron-patterned backsplash with saturated blue tones adds an extra layer of visual interest.

Don’t be afraid to paint your walls something other than white.
We agree, white is simple and goes with everything. But, bold and bright colors can be so much FUN! Pick your favorite shade and start small, like with an entryway, a powder room or a closet.
Don’t be afraid to go dark, either!
Dark color schemes can give a room character, depth, and a surprisingly serene atmosphere. Pairing dark colors with natural light, like in this black bathroom, can help the space feel larger and more open.

Go crazy with color in a powder room.
The powder room is a great place to take design risks. Experiment with adventurous designs, vibrant hues, and graphic wallpaper. Maybe even try out a fresh botanical pattern like this!
Coordinate colors in open-concept spaces.
Choosing colors for an open floor plan may seem exhausting, but it doesn’t have to be. Pick shades that harmoniously flow together. We love how the bright blue details in this open-concept kitchen coordinate with the wood paneling and red door.
