Add Color Without Painting

Put down the paint roller and take the plastic tarps off your furniture — there are plenty of ways to add color to your home that don’t involve painting walls. Consider these colorful concepts.

Flashy Lamps
Every great room needs great lighting, which makes it the perfect opportunity to introduce new hues. Hang vibrant pendant lights, bring in a bold desk lamp or swap out lampshades for more colorful options.

Faux “Stained Glass”
Who says all your windows must be transparent? Let the sun’s rays diffuse through removable window film that mimics stained glass, available in solid colors or traditional cut-glass mosaics.

Happy Hardware
Revitalize cabinets with ornate or bright knobs and pulls. From a single piece to an entire kitchen, these little pops of color will make a big splash.
