Before starting, ask yourself about;

Search the home site to get inspiration for how you want the room to look more colorful. This process will help simplify decisions and provide a better picture of what to look for in terms of paint and decorations.

Imagine an empty canvas that can be filled with colorful furniture to give an expressive impression. If most of the interiors, such as walls and floors, are neutral, it's a good opportunity to add another color that suits you.

Stark advises people to embrace color in their space and find joy in choosing a palette that makes them happy. Stark recommends choosing a brave sofa or armchair and choosing a sofa wrapping sarong option. So you can easily exchange it when you are bored with other choices.

The best way to gradually introduce color into minimalist housing is by presenting small decorations to add accents.

"Even though the decorations are in the form of small objects, if they are arranged properly, they can have a big impact," said Stark.

Stark suggests choosing a white photo frame. Another way is through textiles. Stark recommends looking for colorful pillows of chairs, patterned curtains, or even bullets as a start.

"Play with the great colorful envelopes as part that includes all the space while letting neutral furniture shine," Stark said.

You don't have to choose a lot of colors, just some colors you like. Find one or two colors that make you feel comfortable and apply them to the whole house through furniture, wood trim, or decoration accents to get a cohesive look.

Using the same color for the whole room will create a more structured look. Don't limit yourself to just one color. But try to combine and match different nuances with the same color and different textures to create depth.

"Join to various rooms to provide a cohesive and integrated appearance to all homes," said Stark.

"It can change the pattern or pattern but the actual color must remain consistent throughout the living room, library, dining room, and to the bedroom," Stark continued.
