Winter can often feel like one of the longest and dreariest seasons. While the holiday festivities are a great opportunity to add fun and colorful decor around your home, when the decorations are once again tucked away, your living spaces may feel barren.
Adding color around the house during the later winter months is the perfect way to breathe new life into your home and boost your mood.
Here are some easy and fun ways you can incorporate pops of color into your living room, bathroom and bedroom and more spaces this year:
Don't shy away from bold furniture
When homeowners want to add vibrancy to their main living spaces, they often overlook the biggest items in the room. While it's true that most sofas and chairs come in neutral hues that can blend in with any room, a colorful statement chair or other large piece of furniture can instantly brighten a muted space.
My Move noted that incorporating bold furnishings doesn't always require spending a significant amount of money. If you have vintage or outdated pieces in your home, like wooden chairs or a bookshelf, all you need to do is add a fresh coat of paint in a bright color of your choice. Similarly, a sofa or loveseat can be elevated with new upholstery in a fun pattern.

If you want to instantly bring in some coloration everywhere in the home, find some smaller decor items. From blankets and throw pillows in your living room, to new towels in the bathroom and appliances in the kitchen, there are ample opportunities to brighten up every room in your house.
When adding smaller accessories, you should ensure they complement the existing theme and color scheme of the room. For instance, if your bathroom is painted a royal blue, you should add towels and decor that are red, yellow or pale pink rather than orange.
Bring in natural decor
If you feel like vibrant colors don't match your home or personal style but still want to add some life, natural decor may be right for you. The Spruce recommended adding plants and natural elements around your home that can thrive in low-lighting conditions and minimal maintenance.
However, if the thought of taking care of live plants is stressful, you can add some realistic artificial arrangements around your home and no one will be much the wiser.
Look up and down
Finally, you can't forget about other aspects of your interior that can be brought to life with a splash of color. While most of the focus in a room is on the decor and furnishings, the floor and ceiling are often blank canvases for your creativity. Painting the ceiling or adding a compelling carpet to the living area is eye catching, and in the latter case functional as well.
