Richardson thinks people should have fun with color, no matter what color they use. If you decide later that you don't like it or are tired of it, change it. Painting walls is not terribly expensive. Fresno apartment dweller Jenny Jones is doing just that in her first apartment, which features all-white walls and a light cream carpet. In the apartment she shares with Marlo Gardner, a silk scarf from India decorates an end table, floral arrangements and scented candles of many colors are on most surfaces and colorful Thomas Kinkade prints are on the walls.
Sofa pillows and a throw add even more color.
Romich has a closet of accessories. He changes pillows and throws to warm colors in cool months and uses the cool colors when it's warm. He also likes to change artwork from room to room and change furniture around, just to give his place a different look. And you can do the same. If you do, color yourself creative.
