Don't be Shy

Are you shy?
You may not be shy, but your decorating might be, if you tend to be "colour" shy. Over the last decade, we have embraced the neutral palette in our decorating. Shy and retiring rooms are safe. In my job, I tour a lot of rooms and often my reaction is, “This room could be great if they just took a chance and made a commitment to colour.” This doesn’t mean that you have to go crazy. When shopping for a home, buyers love the public rooms (i.e. foyers, living and dining rooms, etc.) to be neutral. Neutral colours enable the buyer to see their furniture in your space but let’s not be boring! Commit to adding one accent colour and repeat it at least twice in the space. For example, add toss cushions to your sofa and repeat the same accent colour in a new area rug or artwork. This photo is from the 2010 Princess Margaret Showhome in
