I recently added a post about color theory – and how the shades of color you use in your home can affect the mood of the spaces. Since that post went live, I have been particularly aware of how different homeowners and designers use colors. Photo above by theartwerks.  Instagram is my favorite place to look for new inspiration; And I have come to realize that there seems to be three main schools of thought in regards to decorating with color:

ONE: Neutrals Prevail

TWO: Pops of Color

THREE: Color Explosion

I thought it might be fun to share a few of the Instagram Accounts that feature the use of color in each of these school’s of thought. Today, I will start with the ‘Color Explosion’ accounts that caught my eye.

@sararaak

Nobody does color quite like Sara. I love the cheerfulness of her feed and how she is unafraid to use color and pattern in each and every room of her home!

@blueberrylivingco

Fun and floral. That is the way I would describe the Instagram feed of Ju De Paula. She uses the tagline ‘feel the joy’ – and it is certainly possible while looking at how she decorates her space!

@katepearcevintage

The deep, rusty hues in Kate’s squares are bold yet sophisticated. Her home puts out a retro and ultra comfortable vibe, and color plays a major role in that.

I hope you get a chance to visit the links to these fabulous accounts. They truly are inspiring! Be watching for future posts that focus on the other two main ways homeowners and designers tend to use color.
