Five items that could add a splash of color to your home!

 

I love a neutral or subtle palette for interiors but it is important for me to include colors albeit in the form of accents to break the monotony so I provide you with five of my favorite options to do it successfully.

Cushions/throws

I am an avid lover of fabrics in the interior. I love how they bring the whole room together giving a cozy feel to the ambiance effortlessly and does it much better than any other item although requires maintenance. Cushion prints have come a long way since their inception. Pom-Poms, intricate embroidery, quirky prints, wild prints, and a whole lot of material choices have come into play and hence they offer a lot of potential in sprucing up your interiors in a cozy yet quirky way.

Ceramic art ware

Pottery has always been a well-known craft of India and they provide a variety of items starting from kitchenware to artifacts and more. They have this innate sense of beauty which works wonders to any space especially in coffee tables, dining tables making the perfect setup for any high tea or just for a really relaxed evening beverage. They are a little fragile in mature but even in their broken state they make for great art along with the resin.

Books

Taking a cue from the renowned wedding designer, Devika Narain, color coding your books while arranging them on a shelf offers a colorful backdrop in any space. This is a simple tactic that can instantly make your space pop with minimal effort. And by throwing in some of your favorite toys, trinkets, or artifacts you’ve got yourself an accent space.

Wall art

A wall of photo frames have now become everyone’s go-to décor option and all for the right reasons. The best thing about this trend is that you can customize it to suit your personality. For example, your wall should be an extension of who you are as a person and tell your story or be an amalgamation of your favorite things. If you love cinema it can feature some of your favorite moments/films/personalities associated with it. If you love it quirky go for some out-of-box illustrations by your favorites artists or it can be your favorite quotes or anything that you feel a close connection with and makes you happy.

Flowers & Plants

Florals have the power to make anything pretty and your home should be no exception. Gone are the days when the plants belonged in your backyard or front porch or balcony. They are inside now and we have got nothing to complain about. Interior plants have become a rage and everyone would love to be a part. They instantly brighten up a place in addition to providing a peaceful and harmonious environment. But it is important that you are invested in the whole process of maintaining the plants which can be a handful but extremely satisfying. If you don’t feel up to it, you can add flowers to your daily shopping regime and place them in colorful vases in nooks and corners of your houses apart from tables to make it pop.
