How to Calm Bright Color Home Decor<\/h2>\n

A bright, bold wall color is a striking design choice that can work beautifully in many rooms. However, if that sunny yellow bedroom or bright red accent wall in the living room is a bit too stimulating, there are plenty of ways to soften and calm the color without repainting. Read on for a few simple techniques for preserving those striking colors while creating a more relaxing atmosphere in your home.<\/p>\n

Utilize Neutral Tones<\/h2>\n

Decorating with primarily neutral colors will help soften the boldness of your room\u2019s walls. For example, you can hang large curtains in white, beige, or gray tones to cover up some of the wall\u2019s surface and create a sense of balance. Choose neutral bedding, rugs, and upholstery, avoiding busy or high-contrast patterns. If you\u2019d like to temper the color of your walls, it\u2019s also advisable to avoid competing colors in the room\u2014adding contrast will only make the walls seem more vibrant. For instance, if your walls are red, avoid green hues elsewhere in your d\u00e9cor as they will make the red seem even bolder.<\/p>\n

Shift the Focus\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Another tactic for muting those brightly colored walls is to try shifting the room\u2019s focal point. If a bold accent wall is drawing all the attention in your living room, for instance, hang a large piece of artwork on the wall. Choose a painting or piece of art that has a lot of white space to counter your wall color, but plenty of visual interest so as to draw attention away from the wall. The same effect could also be achieved with a piece of statement furniture or a striking\u00a0tile floor<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Adjust Your Lighting<\/h2>\n

If your walls are still looking too bright, consider experimenting with the lighting in the room. A bright white overhead fixture that illuminates the whole room can make your wall color seem even more vibrant. Instead, opt for a few smaller lamps to cast light where it\u2019s needed preventing your walls from being too harshly lit.<\/p>\n

Keep it Natural<\/h2>\n

To counter the stimulating color of your walls, strike a balance by choosing natural-looking furniture and d\u00e9cor in the room. Materials like wicker, bamboo, and hardwood complement many wall colors. Soften that vibrant spring green or lemon yellow with dark wood bookshelves and a\u00a0natural stone floor<\/a>.<\/p>\n

With these tips, it\u2019s easy to make the most of a bold and bright room and turn it into a beautiful, integral part of your interior design. Even the most vivid colors can be tamed with a few d\u00e9cor tricks that will transform your room into something you love.<\/p>\n
