Discover Your Home's
True Colors

Your color personality can say a lot about you and your interior preferences. Take a cue from your color quiz result and use it as inspiration to modify the color schemes in your home this spring. Changing up your palette is easier than it may seem, and it doesn’t have to require a renovation. Instead, a fresh coat of paint or a few decorative switches can instantly liven and brighten up your space just in time for warmer weather.



  • Green with Envy. If green was your result, consider going more eco-friendly with your home. You can do this through getting stackable trash and recycling bins, unplugging lamps when you're not home, making your own cleaners, putting LED or fluorescent bulbs in your lamps, and reducing your water usage throughout the day. Adding more plants to your home also ups the green-living ante. This green decor addition can help with air circulation, which benefits everyone living under your roof.



  • A Red Takeover. If your result aligned more closely to red, consider adding red accent decor to your kitchen, where it will really pop. Many people choose to make an appliance or their cookware red—like the toaster, a mixer, mixing bowls, or large utensils. Red makes a statement that can match your passionate and energetic character traits.



  • Royally Purple. You can also spruce up your home with purple—an unconventional yet welcome dose of liveliness to your interior space. This can be done with a velvet throw or an accent chair, or even a colorful lampshade or shower curtain. Even a little bit of purple can add a whole different look to a room or area of your home—making it fit for a royal.



  • Orange You Up for a Change? Orange is also more of a distinct color to add to your home, but it's one that could really put some personality into your space. An orange accent could include island chairs for your kitchen or a bedspread for your room, giving you the freedom to embrace the retro feel of the color.

Sprucing up your space for spring doesn't have to be a daunting undertaking. It can be as simple as giving your walls a fresh coat of paint or your couch a new accent pillow. Take the colorful plunge for the season and say goodbye to neutrals.
