As I sit in my living room, I can’t help but feel a little envious of my bold and daring friend, Rich. The designer at Nell Hills has a knack for creating spaces that are as vibrant as they are visually stunning. From his spunky use of coral and turquoise to his masterful incorporation of geometric patterns, Rich has a true gift for infusing a room with energy and personality.
Embrace the Power of Color and Pattern
I’ve always been drawn to Rich’s work, but I’ll admit, the thought of incorporating such bold elements into my own home has always made me a bit nervous. After all, I’m the queen of neutrals – my go-to palette is typically a soothing symphony of beige, gray, and white. But after seeing the way Rich’s vibrant designs have transformed the homes of his clients, I can’t help but wonder: what if I took a walk on the wild side?
Finding the Perfect Balance
According to Rich, the key to harnessing the power of color and pattern without letting them spiral out of control is to have a plan. “Remember the color wheel you learned about in high school art class?” he shares. “Pull it out and use it as your guide when creating a color palette for your room. That way, you’ll end up with a space that is harmonious, not chaotic.”
Rich also suggests balancing bold hues with a healthy dose of neutrals. “If I’m going with really colorful upholstery, I go neutral on the walls,” he explains. “If I go bold with the wall color, the upholstery is toned down. Then I bring in the wall color through accents like accessories and pillows. You have to pick one or the other.”
Dipping Your Toes into the Color Pool
But what if the thought of diving headfirst into a sea of vibrant shades still makes your palms sweat? Makely has a great suggestion: start small. “Even a tiny pop of magenta, turquoise, or marigold brought in through a few lovely and inexpensive accessories can have a big impact in a room,” the article shares.
Try adding a turquoise vase to your fireplace mantel or tossing a silk green pillow in a geometric pattern onto your side chairs. These little splashes of color can pack a serious punch without overwhelming your space. And who knows – you just might find yourself addicted to the energy and excitement that these vibrant hues bring to your home.
Transforming Furniture with a Splash of Color
Of course, if you’re looking to make a bigger statement, consider incorporating color and pattern through your furniture. Makely suggests exploring the possibilities of a vibrant upholstered ottoman or side chair, or even transforming a piece with a fresh coat of paint.
“A fabulous way to work color and pattern into a room is to do so through a piece of upholstered furniture,” the article explains. “Cover an upholstered ottoman or side chair in a fresh geometric fabric, making it the vibrant focal point for the furniture grouping.”
And don’t be afraid to think outside the box when it comes to your color choices. As Nell Hills shares, “Right now, we’re loving traditional chairs like wingbacks covered in reinvented botanical fabrics – a fresh twist on an old favorite that features large, playful images of flora and fauna.”

But the payoff is well worth it. By incorporating pops of color and pattern through your furniture, you can infuse your space with an energy and personality that neutral tones simply can’t match.
