Macleary Chair

When it comes to easy-to-live-with colors, moss green might not be the first hue to come to mind — but it's surprisingly versatile. When positioned with neutrals, it brings in a natural, earthy element; among jewel tones, it reads a bit art deco. See for yourself with this Macleary Chair ($500), whose velvet upholstery looks rich and lustrous in the verdant color.

Oomph Newport Console

Carved by hand, this Oomph Newport Console ($3,450) is available in a wide array of colors, from this shocking pink to lime green to muted blue. (And yes, Oomph does custom shades, too.) More of the DIY type? You'd be amazed by what some pink paint can do for a thrift-store find.

If you want to embrace color but can't choose just one statement hue, good news: you don't have to.

World Needle Dania Area Rug

To perk up a ho-hum room, just roll out this World Needle Dania Area Rug ($109). Its hypersaturated violets, pretty pinks, and deep teal tones add instant visual energy and — as with the bench above — are surprisingly easy to work with.

The Sweater Polychrome Throw

Getting purple right can be tricky; a too-light hue can lean juvenile, while certain tones are too Grimace (you know the ones). The Sweater Polychrome Throw ($244) simplifies the process by pairing two regal purples that play off each other beautifully. Toss it over your sofa, and you're done.

Shauf Cushion

This deep stone blue is so classic, so timeless. (Can't you just see it in an English country home?) The pretty hue adorns the top of this cotton Shauf Cushion ($99) and is complemented by neutral greige fabric on the edges.
