Where there’s an opportunity to remodel or self-build a home entirely, many homeowners opt for a simple, neutral colour palette to best showcase the architecture. However, even with this modern aesthethic in mind, there’s certainly a way for colour to elevate an architectural space.
These 7 projects have each used colour to highlight a key structural element, not only creating a feature that brings something different to the space, but also adding a sense of fun and joy which means these homes can’t help but make you smile.
