Creating an accent wall is a fun way to add color to your space. Try pulling out one of the brighter colors in your décor and use that color for your accent wall. Even if it’s an especially bright color, using it on only one wall will generally be the perfect touch. If you’re feeling a bit more adventurous, you can create a more graphic wall accent with wallpaper, as seen above. Either way, you will have made a great addition to your home.

2 Feature a Colorful Rug

The NuLoom Moroccan Trellis Wool Rug above is only $209.99 for the large 7’6 x 9’6 size at Overstock. Anthropolgie offers some really special rug designs for those of you looking for a more unique rug. If you don’t have a rug down in your living room now, it may just be time to shop for one.
