Be Bold! Choose Color for your Upholstered Furniture

Avoid the neutrals for a change and pick something you LOVE! If you’re anything like me your home is filled with various shades of white, taupe, and grey.  Your kitchen cabinets are most likely white or a variation of brown and your flooring sticks to this neutral color palette as well.  Take a step with me and choose something different…choose color!

As spring arrives and color comes back into nature we suddenly feel our spirits begin to lift.  What a perfect time to bring more color into our homes.  A bright and cheery room can help encourage creativity every day and welcome guests with open arms.

Yellow is optimistic and cheerful which is no surprise to us.  Just looking at this soft yellow sofa makes us smile.

If an overall bold colored sofa is a bit too much for you, try opting for some colorful accents.  Pillows, accent chairs, and ottomans are a great way to incorporate color.  Think of these pieces in your room as the tie or socks of a man's suit; the colorful finishing touches may finish your look perfectly.
