No matter how happy you are with the design of your home, even the most perfect space can start to feel a bit dull and drab every now and then. Sometimes the best and easiest way to give your home an easy update is to add a touch of colour, and with a wide range of benefits to using colour in the home, it’s definitely a good way to go. If you’re seeking some more colour in your life but not sure where to start, get inspired with these creative ways to insert some colour into your home.
Paint the exterior of your house
Take some inspiration from the houses of portobello road and consider painting the outside of your home. Painting the exterior of your house is something not every considers doing, but can leave you with beautiful and eye-catching results! To do this, you’ll need to make sure you invest in some high quality weatherproof paint, and decide whether to paint the majority of your house or just a small area. A good way to add a fun pop of colour to your home’s exterior is by painting your front door – a sure fire way to brighten things up without any drastic commitments.

Paint your ceilings
What better way to wake up in the morning than to be greeted by a sunny yellow ceiling? Painting your ceilings a bright shade is another creative way to insert a pop of colour into the home, and can really transform each room. If you’re looking for a more subtle way to add some vibrancy to your ceilings, opt for shades like eggshell blue or beige.
Upcycle old furniture
Most people have a few bits of furniture in their homes that could do with some updating, so if you’re looking for a quick way to add a splash of colour into your interiors, then upcycling is a great way to go. Give old wooden tables and cabinets a vibrant makeover by painting them in the colour of your choice, or simply paint corners or parts of the item for some understated style.
Add colourful textiles
Textiles like throws, cushions and wall hangings are a welcome addition to any room, and a super easy way to insert some colour. If you’re feeling extra bold, you can even re-furnish your sofa’s with brighter fabrics for a quirky update to your living room.
Hang some artwork
Whether you’re looking to add more colour into your home or not, bringing some artwork into your rooms is a sure fire way to update a space with hardly any effort involved. Choose abstract artwork to give a quirky feel to any space, or simply look for art that stands out to you, in shades you can imagine brightening up each room.
