How to add a splash of colour to your home

Are you stuck with a bland home, and don’t know how to spice it up?

When I first moved in to my boyfriend’s house everything was beige and brown, beige and brown… B…B…B… BORING!

I immediately started looking for colourful decorations to spice it up with, and it’s just amazing what a splash of colour can do to a room!

There’s no need to change all your furniture, but simple items such as fabrics, lamps, rugs, wall art and small things like that can make an absolutely huge difference.

To change my boyfriend’s very bachelor like living room I invested in some colourful new curtains, a table runner, candle holders, a wall clock, other wall art, picture frames and decorative bowls and glasses. Now it’s a real home, and not just a house :)

What’s great about simple decorations like these is that you can opt to change them whenever you want without hassle, in order to match your home with the current season.

Below are some examples of simple, colourful decorations that that spice up your home and make a significant change;

Oriental aqua cabinet - Fusion Living

Fuschia linen cusion - H&M

Purple and silver circular sun flower wall mirror - Fusion Living

Teal Aimbry Hales large pendant - Design 55 Online

White orbit coffee table with purple inner pattern - Atlantic Shopping

Light pink curtains - IKEA

Lagoon tealight holders - Pavilion Broadway

Stockton chocolate and green rug - Next

The only major thing in this collage is the coffee table, which is from the collection of contemporary furniture at Atlantic Shopping. But what a coffee table! I really love the clean lines, and the subtle splash of colour you see in the middle. Don't worry if you don't like purple - this coffee table comes in a number of different colours.
All the other items in the collage are simple things that you can add to your home without any hassle.

Which item's your favourite, and what's your advice for spicing up a bland room?
