When we decorate with neutral colors we create rooms that will never go out of style. Also, it's a way to play it safe by not making mistakes. At the same time we add sophistication to the home. This doesn't mean if we choose to give a touch of color to a room, that we will not be able to create a chic ambiance.

There are plenty of ways to add a pop of colour without getting too wild. I always suggest to start from the walls and the floors. Once we've picked all the neutral colors for them, we go to the next step and start with the furniture; continuing to keeping it neutral.

The fun starts when we have to decide what to do next! We can add accessories like toss pillows, throws, lighting - with a favorite colour or two-, an area rug with complementing colours, art work, natural plants and flowers. With these kinds of accessories, we are still playing it safe because you can always make quick changes when you want to freshen up the look.

But if you really want to go wilder, you can choose a piece of furniture in a bright color and use it as a statement, or a focal point. You can also paint one wall in a specific color. The most important thing is to make decisions that will make your lives better and more enjoyable. It is always worth it to take the risk and design a fun place to live.
