Choose Paint Colors Like a Pro

Go for Bold

Feeling brave? Like bold, bright colors? Then go for it! Just remember that if you use a strong color on the walls, like this cheerful tangerine, you need to keep your furniture and accessories neutral.

White slipcovers, natural materials (sea grass and bamboo), dark wood tones, and white trim keep the hot color from being overpowering. Only a few throw pillows and the chair, with its plaid silk slipcover and kilim footstool, show off the citrusy shades.
