Using Solid Colors to Liven Up a Room

Working with colors can be a refreshing and liberating experience for any homemaker who’s thinking about redecorating his or her home. When embarking on a major home improvement project, most of us forget that changing the colors of our walls, décor and floors can have a really big impact on the overall look of the finished design.

I’ve found that one trick you can use to brighten a room is to scatter solid color rugs here and there. The good thing about working with solid color rugs is that they lay down the foundation for the design of the rest of the room.

The floor is a focal point in any room because it takes up a large amount of space, so adding rugs to attract the eye creates a pleasant aesthetic effect. You can work through the rest of the design with just your solid color rug in mind. Find curtains, draperies, accessories and furniture that will go well with your rug choice.
