Interior designers know that small touches can make a big difference, and so does Brie Larson. In a recent Instagram post, the Captain Marvel actress cuddles up with a colorful throw blanket in her neutral living room.

The 21 Jump Street star poses cuddled up on a sand-colored chair in her living room. Behind her, a white, yellow, red, pink, and brown checked blanket from Gelato Pique adds an easy and stylish pop of color to Brie Larson's monochromatic living room.

Interior designers are obsessed with Brie's way of adding brightness to her warm neutral space. 'Blankets in bold colors or patterns can be used as an accent piece to complement the existing neutral furniture in the room, creating a balanced look. It's an ideal way to instantly add a bit of warmth and texture to any living area,' says Omri Schwartz, NYC-based interior design expert at Nazmiyal Rugs.

'A bright and colorful blanket can add a splash of color and personality to your living room. Not only will it make your living space look livelier, but it can also catch visitors' attention,' he adds.

'The colorful checked throw marries classic with funky - a way to incorporate a traditional pattern with a bit of a spin,' says Cory Alisa Ferris of Cory Alisa Fine Arts and Interior Design .'Vibrant blankets are an effortless and non-committal way to infuse bright colors and patterns into a space - they provide zest without painting the walls, or upholstering a large piece of furniture,' she continues.

The experts also love that this colorful room idea is versatile and low commitment. 'A bright and colorful blanket is an easy way to bring color into any home, even without making any significant changes,' says Omri Schwartz.

'It can also be easily changed up with the seasons, allowing you to switch things up without having to go through an entire makeover. It's a great way to quickly change the mood of your space and give it an instant facelift,' he adds.

Cory Alisa says 'One of the many design flexes of a colorful throw is the ability to seasonally, or emotionally decorate with them! They’re fun to switch out depending on the weather and your mood, plus they’re easy to fold (or roll) and stow away. They're also versatile in the ways in which they can be styled - neatly folded or casually draped.'
