Ways to Add Color to a Room

Do you have a room that’s a tad dull, but you’re not ready to commit to a total redecorating project? Coordinated placement of color can breathe new life into any space. Check out these easy tips from the team at Bell’s Ethan Allen Design Center to quickly and easily increase the color quotient in a room.

Easy Ways to Add Color to a Room, Area Rugs near Newburgh, New York (NY)

Living Color

Fresh cut flowers and lush houseplants create fun pops of color and introduce an element of nature. Since flowers are a relatively short term investment you can play with different colors to see which you enjoy the most in a particular space. Plants and flowers can also help make an environment feel more calming and peaceful and some help clean indoor air, as well.

Functional Fabrics

Sure, fabric can be a sizable commitment, but it doesn’t have to be. Instead of upholstering a couch try using accent pillows or covering a lampshade. You can also pick up some inexpensive remnants of bold fabrics and frame them for some unique wall art. We offer a huge selection of fabric in various colors, patterns, and textures.

Small Rugs, Big Impact

Floors are a significant part of a room's visual space and are the perfect spot to incorporate some color. Wall-to-wall carpeting is a longer-term investment and can’t be moved the way area rugs can. Switch out your area rugs with the season or simply on a whim. We carry an array of area rugs in solids, floral and geometric patterns, and textured styles to fit the decor needs of any space.

Artistic Add-Ins

Adding art to your walls isn’t always a costly undertaking. Opt for photographs or prints of your favorite pieces to add color and a bit of personality to your walls. You can also frame textiles you love. We offer a comprehensive selection of wall decor to suit any personal taste and amount of available space.

Treat Your Windows Well

Window treatments are an excellent way to increase the color in a room and are offered at a variety of price points. We are proud to carry the full line of custom Hunter Douglas window treatment products to ensure your window coverings exceed your expectations. Keep things simple with Vignette® Modern Roman Shades in a luxe fabric or go for a dramatic aesthetic with Design Studio Side Panels & Drapery. Aside from shutters, window fashions are not a permanent addition and can be easily switched out if you decide the color isn’t for you.

Finishing Touches

Decorative accents and accessories give you the opportunity to test the waters of a vivid hue or bold pattern. Consider a few table lamps, a statement-making vase, or a throw blanket in an interesting weave to put your personal touch in a space while making it feel more lively.
