Tired of your space?  Need a little pick-me-up?  A fresh way to bring life to a room is to add an unexpected pop of color.  Like these limey dishes in this neutral dining area.

Pair pink with brown, gray, or black to ground it.  Pair it with white for a fresh, crisp look.

Keep foundation pieces neutral and use pink accessories that can be easily changed out.

Use simple patterns, especially geometric ones like checks and stripes.

Not all whites are alike.  Be careful about the undertones of whites.  I prefer warm whites/off-whites with gray and yellow undertones.  Pink and blue undertones can be a little cold and soulless.

Use multiple tones of white and off-white.  This gives more interest and depth, and you won’t go crazy trying to match that one white.

Use texture to warm up a white palette.  Think white stone, white textured blankets, white fur throws, shiny white ceramics, off-white wicker baskets, etc.

Play shiny against matte to add sophistication.  Use white high-gloss paint of wood furniture and white matte paint on walls.
