Whether you prefer bold strokes of vibrant hues or a subtle splash here and there, this season is the perfect time to get excited about colorful designs. To show our appreciation for every shade of the rainbow, we’ve rounded up a few of our favorite technicolor spaces to spark a little bit of inspiration and help you brighten up any and every corner of your cottage.
A Geometric Gem
A rug and a few throw pillows were all that was needed to update this gray-heavy space. Geometric patterns in an array of rich shades pair well with wood accents and the clean lines of mid-century modern style.
What’s Cooking?
We love the two-tone trend that’s taking over kitchens right now, and this cooking space is an enchanting example. After updating her lower cabinets with a cheerful blue tone, this homeowner grounded the space with a rug that provides some gorgeous contrast.
Block Party
This color-blocked laundry room would make even the dullest chore a little more interesting. A bold contemporary pattern on the walls draws out the bright and beautiful cabinet colors and ties the design together.
