Vibrant colors of roman shades can make a home feel cozy

Homeowners who are preparing for the dark evenings of winter may also want to foster an environment in their abode that reflects vitality and energy. Interior designer Robert Kime recently shared some tips with The Telegraph for those who are interested in using colors to create a warm atmosphere.

Kime has worked for Prince Charles and the Prince of Wales, but he has also touched up less royal residences. He claims that anyone can put a little nobility into a room with a few simple touches.

"I use textiles to add a dash, they can lift a room from being thunderingly English and middle class, and get some life into it," he told the news provider.

He added that homeowners should start by laying out a carpet or a wall color that may make a space cozier. For a more exotic look, he recommends looking at antique shops that may boast foreign goods. This may put a hint of drama to an area.

Homeowners looking to use colorful textures to keep a room fresh and exciting may also want to invest in roman shades. These window treatments are available in many different patterns and shades that can fit any room's theme.
