This month on Houzz I wrote about bold prints, textures, and bright colors, all of which are certainly hot in the world of design as of late, but can be nerve-wracking to incorporate within your home. If you're anything like me, you've become complacent with all things neutral and traditional, and accessories like a bright throw pillow or a loud geometric rug are avoided like the plague. As with most things, a simple nudge out of your comfort zone is all it takes to become comfortable, which is where I'm currently at with the world of bold interiors: I'm comfortable. Designer Meredith Heron's home is an excellent example of how to marry prints, texture, and color in a space without it feeling like a psychedelic crisis, and after seeing these photos I think I'm ready to step into this colorful dimension that is brighter design.

Love how flowers can brighten a room, or just a fun carpet or dresser can change a room's vibe. Brilliant!
I think bold is great. The only time it's not is when someone takes it to the extreme and goes too far by making everything bold. Strong bold "pops" in the room are of huge interest to me. Thanks!
my favorite is the first one!! I love the textures, prints and colors!
I'm a big fan of going bold!!! The prints in the first picture are so pretty and I love the way they mixed it up!!! xox
I like white walls but bright colors of furniture and decorations :)
Best,

Love the use of colour!
My house is mostly blues & you just gave me a few ideas:)
love those drapes in the 1st photo, and that teal nightstand.
I believe my jaw hit the floor after the first photo. What lovely rooms.

The teal nightstand in the navy blue bedroom is stunning! Our red dining room is as bold as it gets in our home :-)
The first room is perfection! I especially love the window treatments and coral foot stools!
The first room is my favorite but there were things in each picture that caught my eye for sure! Thanks for sharing!
Oh those navy walls are gorgeous! Do you ever consult on decorating? You should!
You sure have an eye for all things pretty-pretty! Love how bold pieces can still be classy and simple at the same time! Btw, I retired my old blog recently and started a new blog @ www.elitewithoutwheat.blogspot.com hope you will connect with me over there too!
Ahhh, I want my house to look like this. Love!
I love that last bedroom and those chocolate brown curtains..stunning.
I quite like the look of bold colors and design, although a part of me is still stuck on whites and neutrals. I love the look of the blue walls in the bedroom image though! Looks lovely.
I love that first image, and all things bold right now. I have a mix of some neutral rooms, and then bold ones.. I guess Im caught in the middle, but since I change like the weather, nothing's too permanent!

I love every single one of these photos! Sooooo beautiful!
I loveee that desk in the closet/ dressing room. The rich brown curtains add such a sense of glamour and sophistication!
Those blues are gorgeous! I absolutely love the dresser in the last photo.
I really cannot wait to own my own home and be able to decorate it however I want to!
Love the first photo... the curtains and coral stools are to die for!!
I'm kind of the opposite--I shy away from neutrals and am all about color and pattern and pizazz! Which means that my decor is often clashing. :) But I feel much more comfortable and myself when surrounded by wild patterns and lots of personality. These pics you've chosen are great examples!
Love every image... Anything with blue, white and red I love.
I feel so inspired by this post, I have been looking for inspiration in this area and have just found it! Thank x million!
Bright colours can instantly transform a room and add so much 'happy,' especially yellow! I love the bold dark blue bedrooms + the workspace with the orange desk, so lovely! xx
Beautiful! The turq night stand is particularly great -- what paint color did you use? Very inspiring!
LOVE the drapes in the first photo and the dressing table in the last! Beautiful.

Happy Wednesday.

I love all the colors throughout these rooms and LOVE the drapes in the first photo. DO you know where they are from?
Ann Marie-
It's so funny because since I started blogging, I'm way more into color and prints, and pattern! I'm obsessed with wearing color everyday where used to only wear neutrals. How boring. I'm much happier with a colorful life! Teri
I'm saving the first room...it makes me so happy and a great lesson to enjoy and celebrate your space! xx
that last image is perfection. totally using it as inspiration for our bedroom in the new place. love it!
These pictures are all so pretty! Such bright and happy rooms!
Rich textures, but somehow it works..
Please stop by my blog if you get a free minute. I am trying to decide which shoes to buy and would really appreciate your input! thank you!!
