How to Introduce More Colour Into Your Home

 

If you’re anything like me, I love being at home. Any excuse to stay home after work or over the weekend, you can bet I’ve used it. Even better when you’re proud of the space you’ve created and look forward to coming back. Whether you're tired of neutral tones or just want to inject some personality into your home, OHS has got you covered. I personally love a neutral base and a pop of colour across my home, so we’re going to cover exactly how to do this. From vibrant bedding to eye-catching décor, introducing more colour into your home has never been easier or more affordable. Let’s dive into how you can use OHS products to transform your space with lively hues and bold patterns, a trend I’ve been absolutely loving adding to my home this season.

 

Brighten Your Bedroom and Living Room

Your bedroom should be a place of comfort and personal expression, and what better way to achieve this than by infusing it with vibrant colours and cheerful decor? Especially if you’re a renter like me, sometimes you don’t have a say in what furniture is in your space. Your current setup may feel a bit dull or uninspired, but adding a splash of colour can instantly transform the atmosphere, making it more inviting and energising. Here are a few of our suggestions on how to brighten your bedroom:

  • Bold bedding sets: Having your duvet cover as the main pop of colour is eye catching and fun. We recommend the Brentford’s Plain Duvet Cover Set in Pink for this, but if pink isn’t your cup of tea the set comes in more than 10 colours. Personally, I love the pink colour contrasting against my white/grey décor because it really makes the bed the centre piece of my room. I’m also a huge fan of our Geometric Seersucker Duvet Sets, available in 6 different colours.  If you’re looking for something a bit bolder, we recommend our printed duvet sets, like the new lush Floral Botanics sets or the Marble Print sets.

  • Vibrant throws and blankets: I know when I first moved into my apartment, I took one look at the tired charcoal sofa and thought this needs jazzing up ASAP. What better way to introduce a little colour than adding an array of vibrant throws and blankets? They’re incredibly versatile; you can drape them over sofas, beds, chairs, or even use them as wall hangings. The OHS Ultra Soft Gingham Print Throw in Blue is one of our favourite colourful throws for doing just this. Our new range of faux fur stripe and two-tone throws are my favourite though, as they add a subtle pop of colour complimented by a rich texture (don’t miss out on the matching pillowcases!). The flexibility allows you to easily change the look and feel of a room without committing to more permanent alterations like painting walls or buying new furniture.

  • Decorative cushions and covers: Decorative cushions are a simple yet highly effective way to introduce pops of colour into your home. My cushion collection since moving into my own place is a little excessive, I’ll be the first to admit… but they’re just so great at sprucing up a room depending on your mood! These small but impactful accessories can transform the look and feel of any room with minimal effort. Again, pop these on your bed or sofa for an instant colour refresh. The new Matte Velvet Bee Print Cushion Covers in Sage look stunning against neutral backgrounds, like a bed dressed in white or a sofa covered in neutral throws. The variety of colours, textures, and patterns available allows you to mix and match to suit your personal style and the season, ensuring your decor always feels fresh and exciting.

Enhance Your Entryway and Hallways

There’s honestly nothing better than walking in your front door and being hit with a vibrant and welcoming home. Your entryway and hallways are the first areas guests see when they enter your home, making them the perfect places to add a welcoming burst of colour. Introducing vibrant décor elements here can create an inviting atmosphere right from the doorstep. Start by adding a colourful wreath, such as the pretty Spring Blossom Wreath or the Eucalyptus Wreath, to your front door or an interior wall to bring a fresh and bright vibe all year round. For a touch of nature indoors, consider our range of garlands or indoor artificial plants, which adds a soothing green hue and can be adorned with fairy lights or seasonal accents for extra charm.

To keep your entryway organised and stylish, use colourful storage solutions like vibrant baskets or decorative hooks for coats and bags. Adding a colourful rug like the OHS Abstract Flat Rug can also make a significant difference, providing warmth underfoot and visual interest. With these simple yet effective additions, you can transform your entryway and hallways into cheerful and welcoming spaces that set the tone for the rest of your home.

 

Add Colour to Your Kitchen and Dining Area

Infusing your kitchen and dining area with vibrant colours can transform these spaces into lively and inviting areas where you’ll love spending time. Consider adding a splash of colour with textiles like tablecloths, placemats, and napkins. These items are not only functional but also offer a great opportunity to play with patterns and colours without a long-term commitment.

Our garlands are also great for use in these areas. Use the Autumn Harvest Garland as a stunning centrepiece on your dining table, or drape over shelves and cabinets. For more stable, year-round pops of colour, consider the Velvet Bar Stools from OHS – gorgeous and sturdy seating solutions that offer both form and function.

Fun for Kids’ Rooms

Transforming your kid's room into a vibrant, joyful space is easy with OHS's range of colourful products. A kid's room should be a haven of fun, creativity, and comfort, and adding pops of colour can make it an exciting place for your child to play, study, and rest. Add a colourful rug to tie the room together and provide a soft surface for playtime, we recommend the Sienna Fluffy Tie Dye Rug for a playful addition to the room.

Dive into a world of fun with the ultra colourful range of kid’s bedding. Featuring a huge range of loud colours and unique kids prints, elevating your child’s room with colour has never been easier. Encourage dreams of safari adventures with the Kids Safari Print Reversible Duvet Set, or wacky trips to outer space with the Kids Space Dinosaur Print Reversible Duvet Set.

Adding cosy, colourful blankets will bring warmth and brightness to your little one’s room, creating a snug and inviting space where they can relax and unwind. These vibrant accents not only enhance the room's décor but also provide extra comfort during bedtime or playtime, making their space feel even more special. We just got in the beautiful kids ombre sherpa throws which I love.

Injecting colour into your home doesn’t have to be a daunting task. With OHS’s range of vibrant and affordable products, you can easily transform your living space into a livelier and inviting environment. From bold bedding and playful cushions to eye-catching wreaths and garlands, there are plenty of options to choose from. So, why wait?
