Easy ways to add colour to the décor of a room

Lights:

The most obvious way to play your colour through lights is to choose some fun coloured bulbs or pop fixtures. For the latter, these days there are lots of easy DIY kits available online. Or your smart local electrician can recreate your dream lighting from a reference. You can fix them as patterns or wordings as well. Pick a phrase you love and have it custom fabricated—voila, artistic and colourful!

Lamp shades made of leather or textiles are a simple way to sneak your favorite colours into the room, inviting their presence even during daytime. In a living room design , introducing modular or themed paper lanterns in colours of your choice can elevate the style of the room and make it more engaging. Stained-glass lamp shades are costly for a reason, but it brings a conversational piece into a room, and while it is a vintage touch, a commissioned piece would add a personal contemporary narrative. 

Fruit, or Floral Arrangements:

This is sheer luxury. It also means a constant, even daily engagement with the arrangement. But it personalises, livens and colours a space like little else. The moment real flowers enter a space it brings life and a mood-change with it. Not all flowers are expensive and everything has a different lifespan—some go longer than others. Florists can create bouquets as per your colour choices, so you can really personalise it, and even have a weekly order delivered. 

Other options are artificial floral arrangements by popular florists. Though these can be expensive, they last forever. Many are washable as well. Fruit arrangements speak of abundance. There is an atavistic, primeval, satiating response to the visual of a well-stacked fruit arrangement, which also explains their popularity as still-life subjects. A fake-it-but-still-beautiful alternative here is an arrangement of glass or wood replicas of fruits. That is a confident, stylish but sustainable statement.

The lines of the art piece when done with powdered crystal will be, therefore, more defined. The choice will totally depend on your inclination. As far as the price goes, there is not much difference.

Another way would be to get a crystal that complements your room colours. For example, your two colour combination for living room  would give you more than enough options to decide which crystal you want for your room.  

Some crystal-gemstone addicts also keep a grid of these stones in a prominent and visible part of their spaces as cabochons for various healing purposes; or to bring good luck or ward off evil. Crystals are huge in Vastu Shastra and can be even more personalised with expert consultation.
