Creative Ways with Color and Pattern

Sure, painting your room a vibrant red or a cool blue will add color pizzazz. But color can be incorporated without painting. These beautiful rooms pop with color in all the right places.

Pattern Perfect

This cozy kitchen banquette mixes traditional elements, such as the antique wood table, with quirky design like the vivid pink diner chairs.

Why It Works
-- Saturating a corner with bold color is a great way to make a statement without taking over a room.
-- The eye-catching Roman shade holds together the color scheme. Pillows in the same print dress up the simple banquette.
-- The warm oak table is traditional but the exaggerated legs are almost whimsical.
