I always go back and forth with what I like more color or neutral? color or neutral? And even though I love the crisp, tailored, clean look of whites and neutrals, nothing compares to a space with pops of color.
From fashion to interior decor, vibrant, dynamic colors are in trend right now (and honestly, I dont think its going away anytime soon). Whether being more dramatic by painting an entire space a bright hue or going a subtle route by introducing fun, unexpected colors in accessories and accents, color gives any room depth and life.
If youre timid to add color to your space, one favorite tip of mine is to create a neutral backdrop (taupes, grays, beiges, white) on the walls and main furniture elements, and then inject vibrant hues through fabrics in window treatments and pillows, as well as accessories. One of my go-to staples for color in every room I create are lamps.
I recently learned about a new lamp collection, color + plus, through Lamps Plus (an online resource that I use all the time for lighting) where you get to mix and match the lamp base (in a HUGE selection of colors) with fun solid and patterned shades.
Here are a few of my favorite lamp and shade combos

And now a few favorite rooms with vibrant colored lamps and accessories

Lamps not only provide light for a space, but also add drama and intrigue to the overall aesthetic. Its amazing how each of these spaces looks so different with the added colorful lamps and shades. Heres a glimpse at a space in my home where Ive introduced a pop-of-color with a lamp.
With the selection of color (and I mean any and every color that you can think of) that Lamps Plus has to offer, your space can be updated in minutes.
