4 Ways to Add a Dash of Colour Splash to Elevate Your Home Decor

The thought of refreshing and redesigning your home’s interior design with every passing season can seem like a daunting task. But after a while, those whitewashed walls scream monotony and change is necessary.

With the right steps, refurbishing your home with as little work as possible is simple, effective and rarely requires a ton of investment.

We at Legrand are here to introduce you to the magic of colour. That’s right; your dream home decor is no longer a pigment of your imagination.

Sometimes All You Need Is a Little Splash of Colour

#1 – Colourful Curtains or Blinds

Are you looking to purchase or revamp the existing curtains in your home? Confused about where to start? Understandably, a feeling of overwhelming stress may loom over you just thinking about it.

Ask yourself. What type of curtains or blinds do you think will suit your home?

If the answer doesn’t immediately spring to your mind, we have a few suggestions for you to consider:

Match Your Walls:
If you’re searching for an elegant or monochromatic approach, you can choose to match your curtain fabric to your walls, or even experiment with a shade darker or lighter. This ensures other elements of your room are not upstaged while still exuding a sense of subtlety and style.

Contrast Your Walls:
Do you consider yourself to be daring? A surefire way to make your window furnishings the centrepiece of your room is by choosing bold colours that stand out. If your walls are painted blue, yellow curtains can give your room that extra edge.
Select a fabric or texture you love. It could be related to an existing element in your room. Smaller, cosier rooms with fewer curtains are a great environment to experiment with bold colours and patterns. They can be modified easily if the experiment doesn’t work out.

A Rule of Thumb:
In case your furniture or bedding is patterned, solid, bold coloured curtains would be a perfect match. If your furniture doesn’t vary much, introducing patterned or textured window treatments can do wonders! It’s up to you to make the final decision.

Over and above colour, automated curtains are the new fad. Blinds can be opened and closed swiftly with the touch of a button.

At Legrand, we’re all about ‘Living the Advantage’. Our Wireless Curtain and Roller Blind Switch would be a perfect addition to your home. This piece of technology can be fitted directly onto a wall or piece of furniture. Bid adieu to manually shutting your curtains at night. Legrand’s Wireless Curtain and Roller Blind Switch will get the job done.

#2 – Modular Switch Plates

While revamping our homes, we usually spend most of the time obsessing over paints and wallpapers. It’s safe to say that switch plate covers are the black sheep of home decor. By treating switch plates with a little bit of respect, you can ultimately elevate your walls from considered, to stylishly designed.

Go Metallic:
Investing in a bottle of metallic spray paint and conducting your very own in-house home decor DIY project may seem like it’s the easiest thing to do. But beware, always make sure to opt for a tone that compliments other metal accents in the room. If your room is scattered with elements of brass, adding stainless steel to the mix wouldn’t be such a good idea.

Add Contrast With Black:
Are you tired of those same old whitewashed walls? For contrast and a bit of mystery, using black switch plates can exude a sense of classiness. Their punchy, graphic properties will be sure to grab the attention of visitors.

Solid Colours:
Using solid coloured switch plates has become increasingly popular. Legrand’s “No Problem” Britzy Switch comes with an array of colour plates to choose from. Complimenting your interior design with Britzy’s range of shock-proof, safe switches has never been easier!

For lighter whitewashed rooms, white plates are an ideal choice. For darker shades of any colour, contrasting or bold colour plates will be sure to stand out.

Patterns Or Textures:
Many a time, walls painted with solid colours are calling out for a change — something to make them stand out in the crowd. Textures are becoming exceedingly popular, from bricks to paper mache to raw concrete. Specific patterns like clear skies, stars and florals can also add that well-deserved pop of colour to your switch plates.

#3 – Coloured Lights

If you’re searching for an inexpensive solution to make your interiors more colourful, coloured lights are a quick fix.

The type of bulbs you use can alter the colour of a room:

Incandescents: The yellow-amber light of these bulbs make reds, oranges and yellows more vivid while washing out blues and greens.

Fluorescents: These lights are useful in enriching blues and greens, making your room feel relaxed, calm, and one with nature.

Halogens: White halogen lights enhance all colours, ensuring they appear more vividly. These lights are also useful in making the shift from daylight to artificial light less jarring.

Compact Fluorescent Lights: Depending on the colour of your walls, CFLs can produce a warm white, neutral or bluish-while light.

LEDs: Smart LED lights can be purchased online at economical prices. These LED bulbs are controlled wirelessly and contain an array of colours. For example, colours from the user’s surroundings can be interpreted by LED sensors and then projected in the room. Talk about smart lighting!

At Legrand, our range of High Luminosity LED Dimmable Night Lamps allows users to control their lighting, in new, intelligent ways. This high luminosity LED spotlight can be used in either auto mode (day/night automatic sensor) or manual mode (on/off switching). The light intensity can be easily adjusted by keeping the lens pressed. That’s what we, at Legrand, call “Living the Advantage”.

#4 – Wall Decor

To give your home a new look, breaking the bank is not always necessary. A striking wall statement could do the job.

Wall Plates:
Available in a variety of sizes, designs and materials, wall plates double up as striking decor pieces. Hand-painted ceramic plates have an appeal of their own, while contemporary plates can add a sense of quirkiness and style to any space.

Oversized Paintings:
Another way to transform dull, drab walls is by installing vibrant, oversized paintings. These will be sure to evoke conversations. Whether the picture is black and white or in colour, a chic painting has vast potential to elevate and add a pop of colour to home decor.

Mirrors:
Mirrors not only assist in redefining walls but reflect light, making rooms look much larger than they are. A cluster of mirrors will be sure to enhance the charismatic quotient of a room. Mirrors with wooden, antique, textured or hand-crafted frames can attract the right kind of attention to themselves.
There you have it. We hope the above tips assist you in adding a dash of colour to your life.

Our final tip – be bold, be brave. Don’t be afraid to experiment with unique and striking wall statements and colour switch plates. Your home is a sacred space, and changing it up now and then can be a blessing in disguise. It’s never too late :).
