  • Layering colors from our Palette of the Year, this living room is on-trend and oh-so-livable. Here's the tricks that make it work:

    Keep Calm. Adding color doesn't have to mean painting walls a head-turning hue. Neutrals are an easy-to-live-with backdrop for color elsewhere. And no worries about a cold, stark feel -- today's neutrals are shifting back to classic warm tones.

    Set It Off. Try white trim rather than the same neutral as the walls. Contrast makes a room's traditional elements feel fresh.

    Expand Your Neutral Zone. Think neutral always means beige or gray? Think navy -- the blue on our sofa grounds bright yellow and coral. But its dialed-back intensity means there's no danger of it reading as a "black hole" in an otherwise light, pretty room.

  • Refresh a Bedroom

    Bedroom a little dull? Revive it with color. Here's how:

    Try a surprise combo. Pantone and paint pros are pumped about purple, so take it beyond a child's room. Paired with classic navy, lavender is all grown up.

    Perfect your accent. Use a deep shade from your paint chip for an accent wall, then dial back a couple of shades for the other walls to keep a light, livable look.

    Top it off. Master the look of mixed bedding. The key is repetition, with a twist. Lavender from the wall shows up in a pillowcase pattern. Coral softens from punchy on the coverlet to muted and peachy on the pillows. Neutral navy on shams and a throw pulls everything together.
