Dive into turquoise
with associations of the ocean, blue is a natural choice in a bathroom, but some nuances can be on the cold side. This turquoise said warm tropical waters immediately, and gives this neutral scheme, a serene escapist mood. Choose a rich matte to give the color depth and flank it with white to really highlight its beauty emulsion.

Restrict your palette
Despite the apparent riot of color in this room, there are actually only three brights in. Limit your palette as this allows you to use color everywhere without that it overwhelming the room. The other decorative key trick here is the use of black, which anchors the system and connects all the elements together.

Boost with a single light
Nervous add color to a sophisticated gray and white regime? Just choose a delicious light and use the same color in several places to add heat in a cool way. Imagine this piece without the purple - it would be colder and less deep. Other colors that work beautifully with gray include yellow, chartreuse, cherry and turquoise.

hot orange and purple
burnt orange and purple palatinate are, in theory, the colors clash, but as this picture shows, they made great partners. Purple adds a touch of elegance to this gray sofa, while orange is energizing and lifts the mood of the room. They both add wealth - especially in velvet - and do their best in rooms facing north.

Selecting the colors of the wallpaper to the furniture and upholstery helped create a color scheme that really hangs together.

Add a riot in a carpet
a feature can be enough to bring a lot of colors. This carpet has a shades of rainbow and acts as a cheerful centerpiece in an otherwise neutral room quiet. It is a movable feast, too, and could easily be exchanged for something simpler to change the mood.

A handful of knitted cushions and poufs in the same color combination strengthens, while bright white and shiny chrome parts sharpen the regime.
