To freshen up your home without being clumsy, all you need to do is place small color accents in the right places.

The monochromatic minimalistic design has proven its practicality and unobtrusive beauty, but sometimes it just tends to dilute it with colored spots. Here are some ideas on how to make this wish come true and not overdo it.

1. Front door

Paint the front door a bright color, then it will become the main element of the hallway. No other decorative elements are required.

2. Colored wall

To make the room boring, you do not need to repaint it entirely - one wall or even a part of it will be enough. Contrast the wall that has a window or door. Or, for example, paint the partition between the windows in a bright color.

3. Headboard

If you have a bed without a headboard, you can draw one. To do this, simply paint the part of the wall behind the bed. If you have a headboard, you can draw a wide contrasting strip above it to give the whole room expression. Or you can upholster the headboard with a textured fabric of a rich tone.

4. Multi-colored chairs

Chairs of the same shape, but different colors will not disturb the harmony of the room and at the same time will give it a mischievous mood.

5. Bookcases

Take out the shelves and paint the back wall a bright color. When the paint is dry, put the shelves back in. In such a wardrobe, both books and various decorative things will look great.

6. Furniture with legs

Furniture legs painted in a bright color look very impressive and original. The room will immediately become more fun, and at the same time you do not risk overloading it with color.

7. Kitchen rugs

A bright rug can set the tone for an entire kitchen. And if it is made of several contrasting squares, then you can not be afraid to spill red wine on it or drop a berry - a damaged fragment can be easily replaced.

8. Kitchen cabinets

Replacing all the doors of kitchen cabinets with colored ones is not cheap, but you can only change the doors of the hanging cabinets or, conversely, only the lower facades.

9. Garden furniture

Bright garden furniture also looks great indoors. And if it's also foldable, you can add and remove these colored pieces of furniture whenever you like.

10. Blankets

Colored blankets are good because they can be used to dose the amount of color in the interior - they can be unfolded, rolled up, or completely removed if tired.

11. Lampshades

Just by buying or making your own hands a new bright lampshade for a table lamp, floor lamp or ceiling light, you will transform the whole room. But it's better not to throw out the old one yet. Suddenly you want to go back to the previous version.
