Colors change with season and what's in style which goes the same with patterns. Instead of repainting all the time, try adding a little touch of color with some accessories and home decor around the house. This can give you that feel of color and texture that you might be looking for.
The great news with using home decor for your color is that it's really easy to switch it up. Add a bold cushion or curtain depending on the season...if it's a color you can't live with permanently, you can swap it out easily.
You can also do this with furniture pieces, like the blue table in the photo above. If you decided you didn't want blue anymore it would be a simple fix to change out just the side table and pillow. Another option would be to repaint that one piece! Since it's smaller it wouldn't be such a daunting task as repainting an entire room...

Want to go a little further than accessories for your room? You can frame wallpaper or paint a canvas to hang on the wall or bring in a spot color chair. When you want to change it up later you can switch out the chair to a different room or paint a new canvas.
You don't have to limit yourself - it might even be easier to switch out one piece like the rug to make the room look different. Don't be afraid to mix it up a little and make your room one that you love walking in to.
