Choose a Vivid Area Rug or Carpet
Area rugs and carpets can be easily underestimated when it comes to adding colour and texture to a room.

For smaller areas, choose a patterned carpet with subtle undertones that will add depth but won’t overwhelm the space.

Lighten the look to boost your colourful decor
We’ve talked about bringing a bright colourful look to your interior but no matter the lengths you go to brighten the space there is one element you should never ignore when planning a home decor and that is lighting. Without a light-filled space, everything feels duller.
Choose light fittings that compliment the decor and mix up the types of fixtures within a room. For example, a ceiling light, table lamp and floor lamp help spread light around the room. Putting light right into the duller corners of a room also helps make the space feel larger. If you have the chance to add wall lamps take it! Wall lights bring a decorative touch and also allow you to switch some lights off and alter the ambience of a room. It’s really important to have the flexibility of altering how much light you use as some days are duller outside than others. In winter months you’ll need a little extra light indoors so plan lighting schemes with darker days in mind.
