Injecting a pop of colour into an otherwise drab and lifeless setting can make all the difference. To truly excel at interior design, one needs to understand the fine balance between practicality and aesthetic value.
If you’re bored with your interiors but don’t know where to start to change things, SHF Living shares five tips for choosing vibrant colours in your home to really make the rooms pop.

Bold
Fortune favours the bold … or so we’re told.
Don’t shy away from the loudest and proudest of colours. Each colour adds another element of vibrancy to your space. In the winter months, choose luxuriously rich reds and browns, and during summer experiment with greens and blues to get the mood across.
Metallics
One of the easiest ways to enhance a room and add an extra layer of style is by incorporating gold, bronze or silver. Gold is one of the easiest metals to match to – think gorgeous emerald kitchen cupboards with gold or rose gold handles.
Paint the front door
Wow your visitors and guests before they even walk in the front door. A bright and colourful paint colour for your front door will go down well. Create a warm entry that reflects the inviting nature of your home.
Colourful kitchens
This trend started in Europe, but we have to say that we are 100% here for it. Bold appliances and crockery are commonplace in many European kitchens, and we can see why. A brightly coloured kettle makes coffee all the more fun in the mornings and it instantly enhances the energy in the room.
Sofa, so good
One of the most effective ways to dramatically add new colour to your space is by getting a sofa covered in your new favourite shade. With so many gorgeous fabric houses around, with the widest range of offerings, you’ll be sure to find the perfect colour in no time.
