Bright color evokes positive emotion, energy, and presence of mind. Color helps create interesting places for us to live, work, play, and express our personalities. The two inspirational home interiors that we feature here today explore color through bold color-blocked decor. We’ll see a color-blocked tiled wall application that resembles an abstract sunset, and a statement ceiling that depicts a blue sunburst. Our second high-contrast interior has a Mondrianesque appeal. Bright yellow, red, and blue elements are set against a stark white background, while black metal framework and abstract patterns create bold outlines. You’ll also find inspiration for open-plan living spaces, modern bedrooms, and a unique bathroom.
A bold blue couch creates the focal point in our first living space. Its rich colorway inspires a blue-painted framework inside an archway, and a paler blue window recess treatment. Blue and yellow wall art is mounted above the sofa to draw the eye up. See more ideas for decorating a blue couch living room scheme.

Mondrianesque color-blocking shapes our second featured home interior. Solid yellow, red, and blue accents build bright zoning, while black framework and geometric pattern create sharp outlines.

Geometric black dining chairs command the white kitchen area. So stark is the white kitchen design, that it goes almost unnoticed in the presence of the much bolder chairs. Kitchen wall cabinets are double-banked to make the most of vertical storage space. Integrated white kitchen appliances fit seamlessly into the layout.

The bathroom sink and red vanity unit are recessed into a neat nook, which keeps floor space clear in the small, narrow room. A custom-cut vanity mirror slots exactly into the tight dimensions of the niche, which helps the space feel larger and brighter.
