Used to enliven the overall scheme of a room, color accents can be considered to be the “icing on the cake” of your interior décor. Introduce color on pillows, wall friezes, piping on soft furniture, lampshades, or picture and photograph mounts. Because the interplay between opposing colors is livelier than the harmonious or monochromatic tones, color accents are often complementary to the base colors in a room. Thus, red or purple accents will introduce energy and warmth to a room with green tones, while blue accents will glamorize a peach room. Neutrals can also perform well as accents, such as a few charcoal grey accents that impart a degree of sophistication to a yellow color scheme.
