Decorating your home with color is like adding great music to your space. In the design world, colors are like a symphony, with one color acting as the conductor. You don't have to limit yourself to a specific number of colors; start with a neutral base and slowly add accents like pillows, occasional chairs, wallpaper, accessories, and throws. Next, consider the larger pieces in your room, which always look chic in neutral tones, and then add fun pops of color to create a dynamic and ever-changing space.
