How to revive your home with colourful home decor

More is more is more in a home full of fun-loving colourful home decorThis renovated ’80s maximalist home is alive with high-voltage colours, art-adorned walls and a green carpet that flows through the bedrooms like a summer lawn.

Brighten the mood at home with vibrantly-coloured decor, contrasting textures and maximalist design

You don’t have to go all out and colour-bomb your home if you traditionally opt for minimalist or refined Scandinavian-style interiors.

Instead, incorporate joyful, colourful home decor into your interiors by adding splashes here and there. 

You could update your wall art, invest in a colourful sofa or occasional chair, or proudly display bright cast iron cookware on your kitchen bench. 

Follow the palettes that speak to you the most, and have fun. Don’t be afraid to play with colour pairings; it’s your house, so you make the rules.

To make a statement, which bright colours should I consider for my home?

When it comes to choosing vibrant, bright colours for your home, the world is your oyster.

You can’t go wrong with neon pinks, cobalt blues, or lime greens.

If you’re looking to make a statement while staying on trend, lavender purple is a fabulous choice.

If you need help determining where to begin, we recommend picking up a Resene Testpot to see where colour could take you. You could refresh a knickknack, re-paint an old piece of furniture, or try a feature wall.

How do I tastefully incorporate colourful home decor into my interiors?

Bright colours can easily be introduced to any space in a tasteful, considered way. First, look around the room and note which areas could use a colourful refresh. This could be a focal point like a table centrepiece or a blank wall.

Then, examine your interior palette and consider which colours you want to add. If your room has white walls, the options are endless — introduce colourful home decor like cushions, throws and art prints. For darker interiors, you could add rich tones with vibrant pops of oranges, reds and purples to make a statement.
