Bold and Beautiful Wall Statements

Make a statement

 

Bold and beautiful wall statements can become a tasteful addition to any room. People often tend to veer away from using bold color, but with a couple helpful tips, and a little experimenting, you will overcome your fear.

 

• When choosing a bold color, be sure to keep in mind the floors, furniture, and wood work -- they should all compliment your bold color of choice.
• Look for alcoves or focal points in which to apply your bold wall treatment.
• Think outside the box and go beyond just painting a wall.

THE COLOR ORANGE

The color orange is not just for fall decorating anymore

The color orange has always been a popular fall color, but it's now being used less than sparingly in home decorating and decor. The nice thing about this color is that a little orange will go a long way.

 

Like with any color trend, this color will not remain the color of the year forever. It's always a wise idea to use trendy colors on less costly items. Avoid buying big ticket items such as furniture or custom drapes. Instead, use bold color on smaller ticket items that are less expensive to replace. For example, paint an accent wall in orange or use a splash of it in accessories, throw pillows, or area rugs.

 

Below is a collection of ideas on how to use orange in decorating and home decor.

 

If you like orange, but have hesitations in using it, try using a variation of the 

color in accent pillows. This rooms neutral color tones grounds the rooms 

overall look while he throw pillows accentuate the space without overtaking it.
