When Color Makes A Room

Introducing hues that stole the spotlight in their respective rooms.

Homeowners and renters alike often look for that punch of personality when decorating a room. Head-scratching and frustration ensue as you rack your brain trying to figure out what the wow-factor should be. Statement-making artwork? An oversized lamp? You don't know what it is… But you know the room needs something.

 

When in doubt, some designers and decorators look to the color wheel for inspiration. As they flip through swatches, the aha moment arises: Make color the main character.

 

If you've got a room that feels lackluster, give it a splash of saturation like those below.
