Deep Yellow with a Punch of Blue
When you think of spice, peppers often come to mind and offer a great source of inspiration for decorating, not only in the kitchen, but in any room of your home that needs a little extra flavor on the walls. The most common shades of peppers are red, yellow and green - all of which just happen to be great accent colors in decorating.
For a colorful look that's a little more main stream and easy to work with in larger spaces, you might try walls in a color of deep yellow or burnt sienna and then add furniture and decor items with the blues, greens and reds that complement them so well. Having one bright piece of furniture like a blue couch or overstuff chair, and then wall art that has its own color theme like the green or red is a great way to incorporate several colors while keeping the look clean and well-thought out.
Neutral Decor with Bold Orange
In a room of earth tones like brown or gray, red or dark orange are a great choice for adding color. And one of the best parts is that you don't have to get out the paint or buy new furniture to make it happen. Look for opportunities to add an accent color to your existing decor - a vase, piece of art, candles or throw pillows are all ways that you can add color on a budget in very little time.
In a room with gray or black, accent colors of bright yellow and green can also be used to add color to an existing decor style that needs a little life injected into it. With both of these colors being happy and full of life, look for images of flowers and other natural elements to help bring the outdoors in and add color in a way that is exciting without being over the top, and bold while still being sophisticated.
Yellow Accent
And if you're looking to not just add some accents, but to really go all the way with these exotic colors, we have some great decorating ideas for you too. Painted walls can have a very rich and stylish feel that make a statement as soon as you walk in the room. For an office or bedroom, you might consider a bold shade like Indigo or Pacific blue. These colors are popular for a reason - they're fun and festive and work with many other colors to come up with a bold style all your own. Using accents of yellow and silver throughout the room and on the walls will give you a very modern look that is sure to turn heads.
