I absolutely love bright colours, and while I know neutrals are very much in vogue right now, I'm just a little bit bored of all the rattan, beige and grey homeware. It's a well-known fact that bright colours can really boost your mood so I decided to shop the high-street (and the internet!) for some epic homeware that will give us all the dopamine hit with just one look.

I follow a lot of bright colour enthusiasts on Instagram - and I particularly love Lucy Hamilton (above) who spent four years and over £25k trying to create her dream colourful home. She now has an incredible website for all your bright decor home essentials. If you're looking to add some colour to your feed I'm also a fan of @paintthetownpastel, @moveovermagnolia, and @pinkhouseliving.

For a colourful home, I've discovered that you can start small and purchase the little things that can make a big impact; I'm talking bright rainbow colours, a touch of neon, jazzy prints and possibly a few things that you'll really want even though you probably don't need. With bright colours, you don't have to go wild when it comes to adding colour to your home, you can do it with just a couple of little touches; a piece of artwork on the wall, a bright confetti light or even just some cool kitchenware.
