Adding color can be tricky because you don't want to choose a gaudy, glaring hue or overwhelm the eye with something far too blinding. Fortunately, there are all sorts of ways to add an eye-catching splash of color to any space, from living room to dining room to bathroom. You can add freshness to small rooms or even make large rooms look cozier.

1. Keep It Varied
/filters:quality(70)/content/c8/j1/htl6icbi56d5164cbbfe3262500002_500x715.jpg)
Add your color subtly, especially if you don't want to go overboard or draw the eye to one particular place. A few picture frames, colorful flow pillows, and a single bold neutral – in this case, the rug – are all you need.

Please leave your email and we’ll get back to you on that.
2. Try a Table
/filters:quality(70)/content/e1/ts/czvsmvsq56d5164d1df9a447238137_550x458.jpg)
A functional table in a fun color is a fabulous way to add some brightness to your neutral room. It adds a lovely freshness in small spaces, too.

3. Seriously, Don't Underestimate the Power of Throw Pillows
/filters:quality(70)/content/yz/pd/aax4jupb56d797043e788256410590_546x545.jpg)
I say that as someone with a 4:1 ratio of throw pillows to seats. Heather and I have a problem with pillowcases. By the way, you can buy affordable but adorable cases to cover your current pillows.

/filters:quality(70)/content/s3/af/npp681qt56d7971720705506588824_600x801.jpg)

6. Go All out with Statement Furniture
/filters:quality(70)/content/m9/sv/v599ggpr56d7972e224dd879473418_600x600.jpg)
This is a huge statement, though. You don't necessarily need a big yellow couch – unless that's your thing.
Thinking...

9. Always Choose a Statement-maker
/filters:quality(70)/content/rr/a7/hw6etclp56d5164ed6630283032901_474x640.jpg)
A patchwork rug? Yes, please!

10. Keep It Cohesive
/filters:quality(70)/content/jy/h4/crd8sovo56d5164dccbb6221081428_541x720.jpg)
See how the flowers match the pink in the pillows? And again, a bold neutral pattern never hurts.

11. Oh, This is Precious
/filters:quality(70)/content/i1/az/m8g825gq56d5164e9d34e418784003_600x780.jpg)
I have a thing for turquoise and I love the addition of pink here! I might have to copy this somewhere in the house.

12. Add Accentuating Touches
/filters:quality(70)/content/yi/xh/pndbqky856d79743a4af5228497157_500x500.jpg)
The book, the pillow, that pretty wreath – perfection!
Thinking...

13. Pick a Softer Pop
/filters:quality(70)/content/up/ln/foh5tkpf56d5164eaedf4331524219_600x727.jpg)
It's not all about turquoise, lime green, and hot pink. A pretty peach mixed with copper looks just lovely.

14. Another Example of Making a Big Statement
/filters:quality(70)/content/ex/ir/w5q49yeg56d5164f7cd37231858845_600x750.jpg)
There's something kind of lush and decadent about this couch, though.

15. Get Creative with an Accent Wall
/filters:quality(70)/content/wh/az/xlodo6mz56dae97273284999805637_500x750.jpg)
Painstaking, but worth it.

16. Bring Color to the Bedroom
/filters:quality(70)/content/i7/sp/ktqlznix56d5164f12a62897543364_600x600.jpg)
A night table or knickknack can add some dazzle without overwhelming your sanctuary.
