Be Brave with Bold Color

Summer is the ideal season to embrace bold color in our homes. The bright sun, vibrant blue sky, and vivid green grass inspire a desire for bold color. From flavor-topped sno cones to happy flip-flops and printed t-shirts, summer is a time to be brave with color.

Primary colors are bold. Incorporate them in unexpected ways like using arcs instead of linear stripes or rugs instead of throw pillows. This method works for both outside and inside decorating, making it a logical choice for summertime design.

Bold color in summer doesn’t have to dominate your world. Excessive vibrancy may cause discomfort, but there’s a solution. Limit bold color to a single point or item in the room.

This way, you can enjoy the color without any negative effects.

Give a favorite piece a pop of color by adding bold casters to a chair or table. This simple addition can be a fun way to embrace the sunny season.

You’ve been eyeing that bright yellow side chair for months. Summer is the perfect time to get it! Update your dining area, indoors or outdoors, with a bold and colorful piece.

Experts agree that, in the case of bold color, it’s practically impossible to beat red. A red chair, side table, door, or even a bowl instantly draw the eye and get the heart pumping. As with any bold color, particularly red, a little goes a long way.

Be careful not to overdo it.

Summer is the perfect time to make a statement. Bold colors and shapes are a great way to do just that. To create a larger-than-life vibe, try using patterned and colored tablecloths, pillows, wall hangings, and window treatments.

Who doesn’t love unexpected lime green on a walnut stained stool? It’s a refreshing way to bring bold color to a classic piece. You could achieve a similar look with paint-dipped summer furniture legs.

Butterflies, flowers, and nature! Filling shadow boxes or cubbies with brightly colored pieces creates an eye-catching collection. A gallery wall can achieve a similar effect.

Keep the color palette limited to two or three colors and make sure the content of the collection is somewhat related to avoid visual chaos.

The use of a rich, bold color with a more sedate one (such as the magenta settee against a foamy green wall) is poignant. Both colors are bold, but one is richer and more energized than the other.

Bold color is the perfect accent for a black or dark wall. While black is grounding, bold color breaks the spell and adds cheer and energy. Bold color with circles is especially powerful because the vibrant circles keep circling round and round without end.

Be brave with bold color this summer!
