Stylish Curtains


 
Cover your windows with the some stylish, patterned or bold colour curtains, to add a punch of colour to your space. If you want something more subtle, purchase some light sheer curtains in soft hues for just the right amount of colour. Another cool idea is pick a focal wall, and hang some curtains against the wall like a backdrop. This will draw in the attention you’re looking for without ruining your walls with paint.

Pillows and pillowcases are a great simple way to add colour to a space, add some vibrant throw pillows to your couch for a quick updated look. Also, adding colour in your bedroom is simple; just add a variety of pillows in different shades, textures and sizes.  The great thing about pillows is they’re easy to change and switch up. If you’re on a budget you can buy extra pillowcases or make your own instead of buying new pillows in different hues.
