I can’t imagine living with a beige decor. I love color and feel that my home should reflect that love. At the same time I don’t want a
rainbow home with garish flashy colors and prints all over the place. I think the key is to have vibrant colors dispersed amongst more modest ones.
We just moved into a new place and chose a dusty rose for the bedroom. I love it because my bedspread has a bright green butterfly pattern on a white background. Our livingroom/diningroom is an atmospheric blue that contrasts the warm wood tones of the floor and table. A brightly colored vase or cushions on the couch can accent any room. I go for the colors I love without trying too hard to match everything, and at the same time without going mad with bold colors everywhere.
Here is some stunning furniture that would brighten up any room!

So it’s just a folding chair eh? But not like this, not this darn cute. Powdercoated Steel makes this chair fairly weather resistent, that said we suggest putting it away during wet periods, if you were to use it outdoors. Sit, done sitting, and want it out of the way, fold it up…
Strut dining table via Design Public
I had a nasty experience with a table once. It was one of those cheap, plastic-topped jobs with the folding metal legs you lock in place with a little sliding clip on the struts. It was weighted down with materials to be stuffed in binders (I was assembling course readers; I know, the perils of academia!), and one side suddenly came crashing down, not two inches from my foot. Apparently the strut wasn’t quite locked. Now, if the school had been using the Strut Table from Blu Dot, instead of that awful collapsible thing, not only would this almost-disaster (and potential OSHA claim) have been completely averted, but they would have been right on the front lines of taste. (And the 90″ model would have been more than long enough for the purpose.) Strut: stylish, quite functional, and substantially less likely to maim you than other tables.
