Infusing your home with a stylish motif or colour trend presents a challenge: How do you achieve a look that is relevant without regretting the makeover when the next great design direction is revealed? The trick is to experiment with colour and pattern in small doses and to embrace trend-focused elements in creative, low-investment ways. With a few easy tricks, you can change up your accents again when the next new hue or pattern catches your fancy.
Experimenting with daring colours and trendy patterns can be intimidating, but it’s possible to embrace a fashion-forward palette while still making a noncommittal colour infusion in an all-white and cream room by injecting jolts of high-voltage colour in accents that are easy to change. A patterned quilt, a few colourful pillows, artwork, and accessories will take any room from white to wow without a lifetime commitment. Making daring colour decisions should be an attainable and fun adventure, so shop wisely and savour the satisfaction of adding zing to your decor for a palatable price tag.
