When using bold or bright colors in your space remember to always use in moderation! I believe there is such thing as "too much of a good color".

If you want to use a bold color on your walls consider getting two shades of that color. A very light shade and a dark shade can be paired up nicely. There are so many possibilities when you use two shades from the same color palette. Here are a couple of ideas using two shades:

-Vertical or horizontal stripes on a accent wall with the lighter shade on the other walls.
-Solid accent wall of the dark shade with the lighter shade on the other walls.
-Two shades on each wall. I like the darker color on the bottom half and the lighter color on the top half of the wall.

You can also pair a neutral color with a bright or bold color. Pairing a neutral or lighter shade with your bold color helps give the room balanced. Using a bright or bold color on every wall in a room can be overpowering and too much.

If you don't want to put a bright color on your walls you can use bold color in your accessories and furnishings. Such as colorful pillows, vases, artwork, candles etc.

Have fun adding color to your space!
