Re-Accessorize Your Home with Trendy Colors

We've recently talked about 2011's color of the year Honeysuckle Pink.  And last year's color of the year, Turquoise, continues to play a major role in design color palettes seen everywhere.



I love both of these colors but if you are anything like me, you don't want to, and can't afford to re-decorate your entire home, or even one room, when new colors become popular. 



So instead of re-decorating, let's re-accessorize!



Here are a few fun and simple ways to add trendy colors into your existing home decor!   



Add a few trendy colored pillows to brighten up a neutral couch.

Add color and life to your room by using fresh flowers to create a trendy punch of color.


Add one piece of trendy colored furniture.  This can be purchased, or refinished yourself if you love to DIY!


Add a splash of color to your walls by painting just a rectangle or two of color on them


All these great ideas give just a pop of color and enables you to use a bright, fun, trendy color, while not overwhelming the room, changing your entire decor or blowing the budget. 


Are you going to incorporate honeysuckle pink or turquoise into your home decor this year?
