Want to give a room in your house a mini-face lift for the end of summer? Just add a few accessories in contrasting colors to your overall decor. So in my family room, which has lots of warm tones like browns and orange, I chose these teal blue curtains (the opposite of orange on the color wheel is blue). Other basic complementary pairings you can try are yellow + purple and green + red. You can do these colors together in pastels (think pink and lime green) or in their darker versions (like burnt yellow and eggplant). I really like the pop this creates. If you do add a contrasting color, it helps to include a few instances of it - like curtains, a vase, a pillow - to draw your eye around the room. This will connect it all together and help it visually feel right.
Interesting. Have you considered doing a little staging work?
