Color theory is a complex take on what would traditionally be considered simple: choosing a color scheme. This idea is all about how different shades work together in harmony based on certain context. In home design, you pick a theme and arrange different pieces of furniture and decor based on the structure of the room and how the hues can flow together. Many often go for a neutral palette, one that uses traditionally soft shades that are keen to the eye and evoke natural calming sensations. While a neutral theme can be satisfying, it’s not always going to make a statement. If you’re on the fence about one of the color schemes in your home – or lack thereof – why not take a chance and go for something bold?

Here are a few reasons to take the leap of faith and decorate with a daring color in your living space:

The room needs a new face
Step inside the room you want to transform and think back to the last time you switched up the design. If you can’t remember when that took place, close your eyes, take a deep breath and imagine incorporating a color that could make the living space pop, giving the room the personality it deserves. Something as simple as a new shade on the walls can take an area in your home to the next level. Eccentric wallpaper can add a fun twist to your home style and give the room a new face as well.

You want to express yourself
There’s something so gratifying about transforming a room with a new bold color scheme. Just think about the opportunity – it’s endless. If it’s been a long time since you’ve expressed yourself and you need an outlet, redecorating with a daring color can help you execute the feelings you’ve kept inside for years. That’s the beauty of transforming a room – it’s a blank canvas that you can convert into your own personal colorful haven using paint, furniture, accessories and pieces of decor.

Wallpaper can bring a new sense of character to your space.

It’s time to step outside of your comfort zone
Maybe you’ve been afraid to step away from the comforting neutral palette you’ve had for years. Or, perhaps you just can’t picture yourself taking a bold approach in home decor. There’s no use in saying you’ll try a bold color scheme at some point in your life – take the step outside of your comfort zone now! Think about a bold hue that you love and imagine it in that living space you retreat to every morning. Whether it’s something as simple as adding a single colored accent wall to your entryway or taking the plunge and purchasing the striking window treatments or area rug you’ve been eyeing for years, there’s no better time to go bold than now.
