10 Spaces That Show The Power Of Decorating With One Color
These stunning spaces are proof that the simplest color palette can offer the biggest impact. From dramatic tone-on-tone rooms to softer, monochromatic schemes that incorporate neutrals, we have something for every level of color confidence. Click through to see rooms that rely on one hero hue for their bold, beautiful style.
Emerald green dominates in this striking hallway. The rich jewel tone covers every surface, creating a dynamic, camouflage look.
A combination of plum and purple come together seamlessly when showcased in varying textures and objects.
This library features peacock blue as its backdrop, which extends from the crown molding to the custom shelves and desk for a vibrant and powerful statement.
This lakeside Muskoka cottage features an indigo sofa sandwiched between an area rug of the same color, bringing bold style to the space. The varying textures — a denim-like finish on the sofa and woven weaves of the rug — create subtle contrast.
Create a dramatic backdrop with tone-on-tone walls and curtains, but allow the forefront to ease in with neutrals and a few hints of the matching hue.
A tone-on-tone forest green bed is the focal point of this white-painted bedroom. The natural shade ties in the greenery seen through the windows.
This 19th century-inspired home overlooks the Golden Gate Bridge, and pulls its coastal vibes from the surrounding Bay Area. Velvet, stripes, and florals coexist thanks to the seaside blues that encompass every element of the room.
Varying shades of turquoise add a vibrant and playful touch to an otherwise traditional country home.
If you can’t commit to color but want a bold look, consider a graphic black and white palette. A black statement wall adds impact to this two-story studio, while an oversized gold pendant brings dimension to the space.
White on white can also have a strong presence, as evidenced by this shabby chic room. A gallery wall with hits of black and a rustic coffee table work perfectly with the simple light fixture.
