Living room color palette

Choosing a color palette for your living room is extremely important because your living room is the heart of your home design. When choosing a palette, it is important to think about the feel that you want your living room to express.

Light colors: Light pastel colors like blue, green, yellow, or purple are nice for a living room that lets in lots of natural light. They make the room feel slightly bigger and can be styled beautifully with cream accents or other light colors. If you choose a pastel color palette, it is complemented best by luxurious area rugs, many lamps, light-colored furniture, and patterned throw pillows.

Neutral colors: Popular for living rooms, neutral color palettes containing beige, dark yellow, and brown hues create a comforting and traditional look. Usually paired well with dark, traditional furniture, neutral palettes are relaxing and can be accented with complementary dark-patterned rugs, lampshades, and drapes. Rooms with these color palettes are usually sophisticated, but some people think of them as stuffy or overdone if they are too dark and uninviting. You can combat this by brightening up the room with touches of cream.

Deep colors: A more modern take on the living room color palette through the use of deep greens, reds, and blues is becoming more apparent in design. These rooms are sophisticated and inviting because they have a touch of warmth from the neutrals and some hint of the airiness of light colors. These rooms can be accented by either modern or traditional furniture and can be brightened up with modern and eclectic home décor, such as a patterned rug or bold throw pillows.
