Putting your personal color stamp on your San Diego, CA apartment doesn’t have to mean painting the walls. In today’s blog post, we have some great ways to add color to your apartment and express your unique personality at the same time.

— If green is your favorite color, add a variety of real or silk plants to your apartment to create a green-shaded oasis. Because there is a wonderful variety of plants, you will be able to play around with the colors and textures.

— Sometimes the obvious gets overlooked: one of the simplest ways to add color to a room is to add colorful curtains, pillows, and throws. Go bold with a riot of color or keep it understated and subtle. Pillows and curtains can also add the element of different textures and patterns to your decor.

— Add colorful paintings, prints, or frames. A large, bold painting on the wall can change an entire room. Other colorful items that can be hung on the wall include tapestries or quilts. Many quilts are in fact works of art.

— Take it to the floor and add a colorful rug. A braided rag rug can add a variety of colors and give a homey touch to the dining area or a bedroom. A bold geometric design can easily liven up the living area. Rugs are versatile and, depending on where you find them, relatively inexpensive, so it’s easy to change out the design from time to time.

— Bookshelves can add a spot of color; simply buy or make book jackets in the color scheme you are going for, arrange on the shelves, and enjoy the effect.

— Be bold and daring and use a piece of furniture as a color statement. A bright blue couch might be just the thing to make a room come to life. Or for a less dramatic statement, paint chairs for your dining room in bright colors.
