Bold Interior Decorating Ideas
Bold interiors defy the boundaries of color and decorating trends. They are designed to speak and stand on their own with confidence while displaying an incredible blend of color, finishes, texture, and furnishings.
Bold interiors have a warming effect on the senses, connecting us to our emotions while simultaneously simplifying our lives by allowing us to escape and give ourselves permission to relax.
Those inspired by the works of Andy Warhol can adopt his aesthetic to create an eccentric, vibrant, and creative living space. His signature style calls for bright colors, bold furniture, and works of art placed in unexpected ways throughout a space.
There are countless ways in which you can incorporate bold interiors into your home and surroundings.
1. Choose a memorable color palette
Always go by a unique color palette that gives each interior space a distinct feel and emotional response. From neutral browns to stark reds and magentas, each palette creates a completely different aesthetic. You can reproduce a vibrant look in your living space by choosing a distinctive color and decorating with variations and complementary shades.
2. Rethink everyday objects
By carefully selecting everyday, prosaic objects that are visually striking outside of everyday use you can add personal touches that make your space reflective of your individual taste. Look for objects like kitchen utensils, mats, and even toothbrushes that spark your interest and brighten your space. Every detail should be well thought-out and executed.
3. Add bold wallpapers
One of the easiest ways to add color and personality to a room is with eccentric wallpaper. Consider using bright, vibrant wallpaper in bathrooms, living rooms, or as accent walls throughout your house. Choose a Suitable Style. For a formal look, choose large-scale patterns with dramatic colors. For a fun, bright style, pick small motifs that are open and regularly spaced, such as polka dots.
4. Add an unusual piece of art
Hang vintage photographs and paintings you’ve collected over the years. Make sure to mix and match frames, colors, and styles for an eclectic mix. You can also add color and texture with bold, unexpected frames. The blend of traditional and quirky is a great idea to spruce your interiors.
5. Incorporate vintage objects
Don’t be afraid to combine pieces from different decades. To really master a bold style, shy away from anything that looks too predictable and uninspired. Call upon vintage pieces (both subtle and bold) to create an alluring juxtaposition between antique and modern furniture.
6. Select a statement furniture
Statement pieces are a great way to make your room pop. Select objects that reflect your personality, but that also enhance the aesthetic of your room. Colorful couches patterned rugs, and other bright furniture create an anchor that can set the tone for an entire room.
