Perfect Palette: Unexpected Color Pairings for a Dynamic, Cohesive Home Aesthetic

Making our new house a home that is warm and inviting and reflects who we are as a family is extremely important to me. The previous owners painted the walls a grayish taupe color, and all of our furniture is neutral as well. To help me figure out how to liven the place up with a broader range of hues, I turned to Luxe Decor for design inspiration. They offered the following ideas for breathing new life into a space by infusing it with bold color combinations.

Many homeowners are stuck in a colorless rut. While whites, beiges and browns are fine for creating a neutral space, sometimes these shades are a little lifeless. To give a home character and charm, a few bursts of rainbow is a must. While certain colors might seem to clash, in fact, they can add richness and warmth to a home space.

Here are a few ideas for adding a cluster of surprising color combinations to your home nest.
