Sometimes small moments matter more than the overall experience, and this isn’t only about emotions, it’s also about interiors. A tiny pop of color in an unexpected place can change the whole perception of the room and give it much more character than a large bold feature. We’ve gathered some examples of such color touches, take a look and I’m sure you’ll want to have something like that.
Colorful Trim
Colorful trim, frames and sides are really my favorites and you’ll see why: an all-white space with a bold ceiling trim looks and feels absolutely different. A bold yellow window frame will create a feeling of sunshine in the space. A bright door side makes you feel a person who found out a secret.

Such features are very easy to add yourself, and you won’t spend much time or effort.

Bold Stairs Decor
Your staircase is a very functional piece: besides going up and down, it’s often used for storage or even whole rooms under it. More than that, a staircase can make your entryway special and bold telling the story of the house. To do so, you can rock bold railing or banister in the monochromatic space, or go for a stairs liner with a bright trim. Don’t overdo, add just a little color, and it will leave a lasting impression.
