- Use large arrangements of fruit and vegetables anywhere in the house. Arrange ripe colourful fruit in a bowl of either a neutral or contrasting colour.
- Flowers never fail to liven up any space. Try displaying them in different ways, by placing a single flower in a vase or floating flowers in a bowl in the centre of the table. Long-lasting succulents make perfect centre pieces.
- Put your food on display in the kitchen, with open shelves showing colourful tin labels and packaging.
- Wallpapering is traditionally a permanent and expensive method of bringing colour into a room, but you don't have to cover an entire room. Just one strip on the wall can jazz up a room.
- Invest in a painting you absolutely adore and it will never lose its value, to you anyway.
- Don't overlook the everyday items like mugs, plates, and table settings. Go for everything in variations of the one colour or experiment with different colour combinations.
- Use a brightly coloured sofa, coloured cushions, throws, rugs, all in rich colours, against a white wall.
- Funky plastics and resins are all you need to liven up your photos and the top of any dresser. Keep them in odd numbers for perfect balance and symmetry.
