Colorful Shabby Interiors

White furniture can be the perfect bare bones your room needs to allow you to introduce color into your decor. If you are drawn to color, consider your furniture as your anchor which allows the possibility of color without going overboard. Many people who enjoy color often go wrong when they decorate, adding too many layers of color, such as colorful furniture, and then adding on top of that colorful walls, and colorful accessories. Once you do layer in your colorful accessories, the white walls, and furniture give your eyes a break from all the colorful eye -candies in your room. We give you some hot tips in pulling off this look.

In most instances a room is pulled together using like colors or using two or three colors that work together. So how do you pull off a look with a wide range of colors? First, like we mentioned, you need to have a room that is pretty neutral on its own, that being beige, black or white. Next you need to layer in objects that are well balanced. Choose objects that are the same size, or shape and combine them together.

A common example of this is grouping three paintings on the wall, all being the same size, but each having like colors or entirely different colors. They work together because they all have the common element of size. Another example of this is having a number of throw pillows, all the same size but different patterns.

The key to creating a colorful room is in the balance. Within the caios you need to create order out of the elements. And being that color is off limits, try to find the balance elsewhere by choosing all white furniture or like objects to ensure that design was well thought out instead of a mumble jumble of colors.
