How to add colour and personality to your home

Ever wondered how to add colour and personality to your home?

Do you wish you could give your home a refresh but you don’t have the time or money to redecorate?

Try these Top 5 tips on how to add colour and personality to your home:

1. Soft Furnishings and Contrasting Textiles

Switching up your cushions or throws can add an instant colour impact. If you have a neutral space, this is a great way to bring some colour and interest. If you already have colour in the room, try to use complementary shades and maybe think about bringing some colour and texture in as well. Don’t be afraid to mix different fabric textures, it will help bring warmth into your space.

The good thing about using accessories to add colour is that they are not permanent, and they can be cost-effective. You can change them as and when you feel like it or when the seasons change. Who says you can’t have a spring/summer vibe cushion versus an autumn/winter cushion?
