I love to add splashes of color inside cabinets: http://ourhumbleabowed.wordpress.com/2011/08/09/simple-solution-shelf-life/ Or inside closets: http://ourhumbleabowed.wordpress.com/2010/09/06/painted-pantry/ Tabletops, light fixtures and lampshades, curtains, and rugs are all great places, too.

I love color-or patterned paper-on the inside of bookshelves, too. Just adds a bit more depth.

What about adding color to: The inside of your kitchen drawers and cabinets The inside of your closet or medicine cabinet The inside of a lampshade! When I make my own throw pillows, I usually make each side a different pattern/color so I can flip them and have a whole new look.
