"According to Hayslett, this simple equation allows you to incorporate more color without veering into "tacky" territory. The main principle to remember is that you should always repeat a chosen color in at least two locations within the eyeline. This way, the brighter hue throughout your space feels cohesive, curated, and flowing - instead of random and potentially overpowering. In the space pictured above, for example, Hayslett uses a pop of pink in the wallpaper, perforated sconces, window treatments, and bedding."
"When it comes to painting your home, bright colors can be intimidating - especially if your space is on the smaller side. Color becomes crucial when they're vivid and flamboyant, meaning you'll need to be intentional; throwing a hot pink pillow on the couch or a lime green print on the wall of an otherwise understated space may come across tacky rather than tasteful, design pros say."
Color echo repeats a chosen color in multiple visible locations to create cohesion and avoid a random or overpowering look. Repeating a bright hue at least twice anchors the palette and ties together deeper or moodier tones. Echoing color across elements such as wallpaper, lighting, window treatments, and bedding produces a subtle visual rhythm. Using two or three touchpoints within the main sight line establishes a cohesive visual storyline. The method suits small spaces and helps avoid tacky accents by making color choices feel deliberate.
