Out with the Black In with the Blue!

Anyone that knows me knows I have an ongoing love affair with the color black.

I love to wear it.

I love to decorate with it.

I think every room needs a bit of it.

It’s just so classic, crisp and clean, not to mention slimming.

Buuuut, when spring and summer roll around, even I start craving a little color.

But color trends are constantly changing.
So what’s the easiest way to add color to your home without wasting money on things that’ll be out of style before you can sink your feet into that beautiful salmon-colored carpet?

The answer is ACCESSORIES!

Retailers are constantly selling gorgeous accessories in the ‘now’ color.
Just take a walk through any home store when the season changes and you’ll get a good idea of what the popular color is going to be for that season.

This past March I walked into HomeGoods and was pleasantly bombarded with gorgeous sea foam green, turquoise, teal and aqua, in everything from pillows to vases to sideboards.

And, let’s face it, if you’re at HomeGoods you can pick up some colorful items for your home without breaking the bank.

But, don’t spend a ton of money on anything in a trendy color.
We all know someone that’s unhappily married to their 80s, country blue countertop because they spent so much $ on it.

If it’s a big-ticket item, go neutral.

But if it’s an inexpensive item, go ahead.

Grab a few colorful pillows.

Pick up a fun lamp with a burst of color.

These are the easiest ways to add some color to your home!

That way when retailers decide the next new color you won’t mind donating those pillows and getting new ones in avocado green!

(Just kidding. Let’s hope that the Brady house will not be back in style anytime soon!)
