Main Ingredients:
Begin with the main components of the room, walls and ceilings. Just like a good recipe you need a good base to start, paint walls and ceiling in neutral tones such as beige, whites, or greys. Add major furniture pieces, sofas and tables, also done in neutral colors such as beige, tans, greys, and wood finishes. These main components work as a backdrop that will highlight the spice of colors you will introduce with the next layer of pieces added into the room.
Adding the Spices:
With the groundwork in place, it’s easy to add the next layer of accent pieces, such as dining chairs or an occasional chair in your favorite indigo blue. Paint a focal wall in honeysuckle fuchsia pink, add a carpet woven in a patchwork of spicy, rich colors of saffron gold, red pepper, and rosemary green.

Be daring, and do cabinets in a deliciously bold accent color that ties the room together.
