Neutral palettes are popular in interior design as they are said to be a more lasting and universally appealing choice. However, studies have shown that we get tired of neutral colors and objects more quickly than colorful ones. When the bland becomes boring why not add some dashes of delight!? Here are some zestful ideas!
Moments of Surprise
Add a pop of color or pattern in an unexpected place like a closet, drawer, or your bedsheets. Set hilarious books on your coffee table or whimsical decor on a bookshelf. Framed photos can be silly faces!
Joy Reminders
Place vacation photos inside a medicine or laundry cabinet. Turn your kids’ artwork into screensavers at the office. Put a picture of your favorite person, pet, or place on your car visor.
Let the Light In
Keep curtains and blinds open during the day. Add battery operated candles on timers that turn on just after sunset. Add mirrors to reflect light.
Switch It Out
Frequently change out the photos in your frames. Switch up throw pillow covers seasonally or for holidays. Use your wedding china from time to time.
Keep the joy going by playing happy music, dancing in your kitchen and so on! The happier you are, the more delight you can bring to others!
