Max Out Your Hues

Max Out Your Hues Grounding a room in a neutral palette provides your eye a place to rest, while purposeful pops of color move the eye throughout the area to find new and intriguing elements. In this historical 1930s house, white walls, a tan leather couch and pale hardwood floors are offset by Kelly green armchairs, graphic-patterned cushions and an ocean-blue area carpeting.



Much Better With Purple This open kitchen is a study in striking contrast with black porcelain flooring and textured chevron wallpaper contrary to a alabaster quartz backsplash and blank white cabinetry. The glossy plum kitchen island with brass accents not only brings a welcome chance of royal colour to the area, but in addition, it adds a touch of metallic glam.



Shade With a Story Recycled plastic bottles find new life when Colombian weavers change them to those one-of-a-kind PET Lamp chandeliers. The style-making fixture not merely adds exciting color to this all-white dining room, but also unites artisanal traditions, earth-saving conservation and makes for a great conversation piece.



Artful Decisions Take an empty wall from desktop to centerstage with a prominent piece of art that brings life and colour to the room. This contemporary country breakfast nook combines a shiny natural wood table with traditional ladderback chairs. The built-in banquette comes with a teal cushion, representing colors from the gorgeous abstract art. Terracotta tiles add heat and floor the kitchen and breakfast area.



The Element of Joy Designed to welcome the most playful members of our families, nurseries are a pure area to infuse with pleasure. Shades of grey are used for the basis of the room, from the textured background and clean-lined dresser to the cozy glider and ottoman. Pops of colour are found in the striped yellow bands around the lamp colors, yellow and blue polka dot shades and needless to say, the most eye-catching element -- the striped blue-and-yellow ceiling.



Warm Hues Evoke Coziness Pillows are one of the simplest ways to add color to a neural space. Designer Sarah Richardson knows how to add the just-right touch with pillows in deep, rich tones. The key to a neutral palette is integrating texture. Grasscloth walls, striped drapes and pale exposed wood ceilings bring visual allure to the space.



Highlight One Shade Immersed in natural lighting, this sweeping living area is a harmonious mix of inside and out. Cozy teal velvet armchairs add a concentrated dose of colour to the living room while pillows in the exact same fabric are positioned on adjacent sofas and also the window seat to take the accent hue through the room.



A Dash of Blue Classic architecture is painted a neutral taupe in this comfy living room to create a cohesive appearance. Everything from the walls into the rug into the furniture is a diverse hue of the subtle shade, except for a single bit -- the blue couch. With comfortable cushions and nailhead trim, the piece adds color while maintaining the timeless feel of the space. Pale blossoms in the stained glass windows include a stream of light to the space, while a abstract painting nods into a contemporary aesthetic.



Look as much as a Vibrant Ceiling Take the colour overhead with an eye-catching ceiling. Groovy 70s-inspired wallpaper adds playfulness between the exposed white ceiling beams. Picking a note of colour from the wallpaper, bright red chairs surround the compact black dining table.



And, Take It Underfoot This eclectic dining area adopts tone-on-tone feel during the canopied porter's chairs and side chairs with woven cane seats. The sisal area rug is injected with blocks of vibrant color. Two-toned drapes anchor the space, while at the same time bringing height to the space.



Small nevertheless Mighty Accents Shades of white, khaki and taupe set the scene with this light and airy bedroom. Small moments of colour might make just as much impact. Multicolored graphic-printed throw pillows brighten up the crisp white bedding. Pale pink cushions and a yellowish throw pop on the window seat, and red gerbera daisies add a single closing bright touch.



Strike a Balance Shades of grey, found in the background background, bed and rug, are a fundamental character for this modern bedroom. Yet color is infused during this soothing retreat in the pink and yellow blossoms of the wallpaper. Streamlined furniture balances the feminine wallpaper and textiles, from the fluffy stool to the nubby area rug, bring in much-needed texture.



Posh yet Practical White-on-white trimwork and walls not go out of fashion and contrast against the dark hardwood flooring in this house office. A version area rug in tans and browns brings in feel. Nevertheless, the statement-making bit is the emerald green built-ins, which anchor the walls and infuse the area with shade. A Lucite desk paired with a leather chair boosts available workspace without even adding any visual weight to the space.



Cheerful Additions Create a space that makes you happy. Locate an element that adds power to a own room, such as the Orla Kiely wallpaper behind the pub in this mostly white kitchen. A bright orange oven and light blue Eames chairs pull hues in the wallpaper whilst floating shelves combine with a glass tile backsplash to give an airy quality to the contemporary kitchen. Stainless steel accents, like the toaster backsplash and farmhouse sink, combine with all the glossy white cabinets.



A Welcoming Hue This farmhouse mudroom combines country charm with classic furniture. Trimmed in white, the closet doors have been painted a lively red carrying the entryway from neutral to vibrant. A vintage cabinet sits between both closets for extra storage, along with a striped area rug adds an excess note of red to the stone tile floors.



Say It With Art Bold colour. Eye-catching design. Spectacular contrast. Check. Check. Check. Abstract art is the perfect way to incorporate exquisite hues into your area. The glass top table lends an airy quality to this elegant, contemporary dining area. Bright white walls are warmed by wood trimwork while a blue-gray floating buffet adds yet another subtle touch of color.



Amp Up the Color A jade green bed has greatest impact in this eclectic bedroom. White bedding and drapes balance the rich tones of this bed, but also showcase tactile appeal that brings a tone-on-tone pattern to the room. Metallic elements, like the table lamps and sculptural artwork over the bed, include a notice of glam.



Timeless Charm A La Cornue oven is known for its stellar reputation and handcrafted design, but making it a stand out from the kitchen is that the variety of colour options. For this traditional kitchen, a classic navy oven fits in perfectly. Creamy cabinets set with slate grey countertops, along with an ornate range hood imitates the sophistication of this La Cornue.



A touch of Teal A burst of colour does not need to be dramatic. Muted teal dining chairs encircle this farmhouse-inspired table. A wall of windows bathe the area in natural light, transforming the delicate neutral walls and warm forests into a bright, inviting atmosphere.



Cherry Red Contrast Sliding glass doors are trimmed in bright red to inject bold color into this rustic suits contemporary dining area. Industrial-style pendant lights wrap around red powder-coated steel beams to get a sudden light fixture that attracts controlled chaos into the layout.
