By painting the trim the same color as the cabinets and walls, it recedes into the background to create a cohesive, sophisticated feel.

Brightly colored ottomans punctuate a sitting area and steal the show with their friendly color placed front and center. Another easy way to add a modern bold accent is with brightly painted stools or end tables. They’re versatile pieces that work as a perch for setting down a book or glass and as extra seating. Play off the colors that exist in a rug or introduce a fun new shade to your space. Neutral kitchens are another place to add a cheerful pop of color—choose bright bar stools or a painted island to create a happy snack zone. Bold kitchen colors encourage guests to come and chat while you prepare the food. We love seeing bright red, blue, yellow, or green unexpectedly in a kitchen color scheme.
