5. Try Indigo Accents
Accessorize a guest room with art, a ginger jar table lamp and a striped throw pillow in the same hue for a layered look.

Mount flea market art on a bookcase to create visual interest and add personality.

Layer block-printed sheets, coverlets and accent pillows for an interesting mix of color and pattern.
