Every home decorator wants to create a room that is special and makes a statement about the personality of the family that lives in the home. However, most people want to stick with neutral colors for walls and flooring so that changes don’t require repainting and re-carpeting the room to fit that new sofa into the scheme. This can lead to a bland, dull look that simply doesn’t have any pizzazz. You can avoid this problem by adding a dash of color and personality with accessories!

Here are eight easy ways to perk-up your dull rooms by adding the right accents and accessories.

A Brightly Colored Focal Point

In a basic room with all neutral colors, where should you begin? A great starting place that can create real impact is to add a brightly colored focal point. Hang a painting that includes bright, bold colors that you want to use to accessorize the room.

This painting can then be used as your palate when selecting other accessories.
