5 Ways to Add Color Pops to Your Cabin
Need Help Adding Color to Your Space?
Do you feel like your cabin is looking dull and too “brown”? This is a common occurrence in rustic mountain cabins. It’s all too easy to have lots of natural wood pieces, wooden floors, tongue and groove walls, and brown overtakes the whole space!
If you’re looking to add some color to your room, we’ve got some ideas for you. Take a look at the list below to find out 5 easy ways you can add pops of color to your cabin.
Rugs
Add color as well as texture and softness to your space when you use rugs. Rugs are a perfect way to bring in color. Find solids, stripes, or a pattern you love.
Rugs allow you to bring in one or more colors, depending on your room’s color palette. You can also layer rugs to create a unique look. Layering rugs allows you to use neutrals such as jute rugs or cowhides layered with a more colorful counterpart.
Bedding
Similar to rugs, bedding will do more than add color to your room, it will also soften the space. Make the most of your decorating opportunities by using bedding to add a bright and fun color to your cabin bedroom.
If you have a warmer color palette, consider wildlife themes bedding or southwestern themes bedding with right reds, burnt oranges, and mesmerizing yellows. These colors will add energy and brightness to your space.
Accents/Décor
Accent décor is a very effective way to bring in lots of colors to help balance your space. Think of pieces like bookends on a shelf, table lamps, lampshades, vases, a dining table runner, seat cushions for your dining chairs – all of these are accents that help tie color into your space.
Once you’ve determined a color palette for your room, stick to it. Make sure your décor aligns with the color palette to not have a space that is too busy with clashing colors.
Accent Wall Color
Create a bold splash of color by using an accent wall. This can be as simple as painting a single wall in your space a color that will pop – think rusty oranges, teal, crimson, and others. Use this wall as a focal point in your space and bounce all other accent colors off it.
You can also use wallpaper to create a unique accent wall and add color. If you’d rather a light pattern instead of a solid wall, this is a great choice for you. Purchase easy application wallpaper and select the focal wall in your room to add a bright and bold statement pieces to bring in color.
Artwork
Using wall art to bring in color allows you to use small, delicate touches or larger, bold statement pieces. From frame colors to the actual paintings themselves, artwork is an easy way to bring color into your space.
Think of your color palette and the theme of your room. To bring in cool, natural colors such as blues, greens and grays, consider nature paintings or photographs. Mountains, lakes, trees and landscapes all help add some cool toned colors to brighten and balance your space.
Conclusion – Don’t Settle For a Boring Space
Why settle for brown on brown when you can create a colorful space you love? Creatively use rugs, bedding, décor, accent walls and artwork to create a bright and interesting space. Make your cabin come to life by using your favorite colors through strategic decorating.
