Adding a Splash of Colour to your Home Article

There is a lot to be said for the minimalist look when it comes to interior design. It is a classic look that rarely offends and it is also relatively easy to make simple, stylish purchases that look a lot more expensive than they really are. However, it can be a little clinical and impersonal at times.

If you want to inject a little more warmth into your home, you could do it with colour. One or two simple changes can go a long way to giving a room a facelift.

A statement painting can make a real difference to a room, and it needn't cost the earth. Go for a bold abstract print or a colourful wall hanging or tapestry to make a strong statement. If you are at all artistically inclined you could simply buy a couple of cheap canvases and see what you come up with by yourself, or if you have a few artistic friends maybe they could help you out.

One great, cheap way to add instant colour is to purchase some large cushions and a brightly coloured throw for your sofa. Within seconds, it will feel like you've bought a whole new piece of furniture.

If you are willing to make a more serious investment, you could make the sofa a statement in itself. Nowadays sofas are available in all shapes, colours and sizes so pick something dramatic if you want to make a colourful focal point in your sitting room.

For those on a grander budget, a new sofa could serve as a centrepiece for your living room. Choosing a bold colour or a striking shape will add instant individuality to any home.

If you have a particular colour that you want to bring into your home, you could do so by choosing one wall of a room and repainting it in your chosen shade.

If you want to make a real statement, try painting one wall a different colour. Be sure to choose a colour that you will be able to live with for a long time, though, as repainting will involve a lot of time and effort.
