Bright Yellow

Going floor-to-ceiling in a sunny shade could be overwhelming, but painting just the bottom portion of a wall is a much more manageable commitment. Add a single stripe above to give the illusion of fancy wainscoting.

Pastels

We won't be over the craze anytime soon. Creamsicle, lilac, light peach — pile 'em all in to a room, but try adding a contrasting dark shade, like the navy here, in various places like on pillows or in artwork.

Peach

Just like you would wear an outfit of two different blues or two different grays, the same effect works beautifully in home decor. How do you do that? Try it out by painting the window trim a few shades darker than the color of your walls.

Lavender

It's made a comeback and we don't see it slowing down anytime soon. The key to finding the right shade is to look for one with a bit of gray, so it doesn't feel like a nursery.

Soft Pink

It's the new neutral, didn't you hear? Let this gorgeous bedroom be proof that the favorite hue of millennials and grandmas alike looks perfect with wood furniture, geometric prints and baby blue walls.

Minty

Think of it like a literal refresh in a room! A room that gets lots of sunlight is the perfect condition for going all out with one color, like a light blue or mint.
