An accent colour is a colour used in quite small quantities to lift or to add punch to a colour scheme. An accent colour should be in a complementary colour, It works best if it’s a bright, vibrant colour.
Accent colours are perfect if you’re scared of using strong colour – simply add a splash of an accent colour with a cushion, a vase or a throw.
Keep most of your room in shades and variations of one single colour. Choose a number of items in a harmonious colour. Then pick out just a few objects in an accent colour.
How to Use Accent Colours in Home Staging:
Pillows:
We love to use pillows in home staging. Not only are there some beautiful designs out there to choose from that add a lot of style to a space, but they also provide a sense of comfort. If the furniture or bedding is neutral, pillows are the perfect way to bring in a touch of colour. Mix neutral pillows in a pattern with some colourful ones to make it more dynamic.
Flowers:
Nobody does colour as well as nature. A beautiful bouquet of flowers or even one flower, such as an orchid, will bring some life and elegance to a space. You can use these anywhere in the home, such as an on end table, coffee table, kitchen counter, or even the bathroom counter. If fresh flowers aren’t your thing, you can even use faux flowers.
Chairs:
Accent chairs – such as bar stools, arm chairs, and dining room chairs – are great for infusing some larger accents of colour into a space. If you do this sparingly, the results can be beautiful.
Artwork:
Since the walls need to be neutral in a home for sale, hanging some colourful and tasteful artwork is a great way to bring some colour back into a space
