Color can be a tricky thing. If you need a dose of it in your life and aren’t quite ready to paint your kitchen lavender, consider punching it up with some high-volume accessories. My favorites (and they work in almost any room) are:
** Black lampshades
** Throw pillows of assorted colors and textures
** Cut bougainvillea, tulips, cherry blossom or poppies in a turquoise vase
** Groupings of smaller objects in monochromatic shades of blue or coral
