Designers Share 7 Secrets to Mixing Bright Colors (All in One Room!)
Briefly

Bright, zesty colors such as oranges, teals, yellows, and punchy pinks inject life, energy, and character into interiors while fitting diverse design aesthetics. After years dominated by neutral tones, vibrant palettes are resurging as a way to make spaces feel personal and full of personality. Bright hues can be layered, balanced, and styled to achieve a curated, lively look rather than an overwhelming one. Strategic use of restraint, pairing, and texture helps integrate bold colors. Color choices can vary from bold primaries to rich jewel tones depending on the desired mood and style.
Earthy tones and muted hues may be having a moment (just look at 2025's colors of the year so far!), but bright colors are always a timeless choice for interiors. Zesty oranges, vibrant teals, sunny yellows, and punchy pinks bring life, energy, and character into any home while suiting many design aesthetics. After years of "beige on beige" and " millennial gray " interiors, bright color palettes are becoming increasingly popular as people look to create spaces that feel personal and packed with personality.
"In nature, color represents life, and I feel it can do the same in your interiors. Being drawn to color is inherent in our human nature, so why wouldn't we incorporate that into our homes? I believe it can bring joy and energy into your life!" says Dani Dazey, maximalist interior and print designer (whose projects include Palm Springs' Trixie Motel), and author of The Maximalist: Colorful Interiors for Bold Living.
