Staged living spaces with neutral backdrops need not
be bland and boring. Strong pops of colours in the soft furnishings,
wall art and accessories can all be used to beckon buyers.

Working with neutral wall colours is like an
artist working with a fresh canvas. Much like an art gallery, neutral
walls are a great place to showcase oversized art pieces. Contrary
to popular belief, an art piece does not have to include all of the
colours in your room’s colour scheme. It should stand on its own,
while complementing the room. In this bedroom the art piece
provides visual interest while complementing the nature-inspired
colour scheme.
When working with a space that already has a
lot of colour on the walls, keep coloured accents to a minimum
and choose a colour palette that will complement the bold colours
without overwhelming the space.

Beyond the Walls
Homeowners who love colour but want their
home to appeal to the greatest amount of buyers should keep their
walls and flooring as neutral as possible. Add colour in a space
with furniture, wall art, and accent pieces that tie one room to the
next. Embracing bright, bold colours can occasionally highlight and
amplify the mood in a room as is the case here where the theory is
reversed with a bright red wall that works well with neutral flooring,
cabinets, furniture and décor.
