The living room sets the mood as you enter a home. From the pieces of furniture to tasteful decors that complement the space, the living room gives the first impression to the entire feel of the house. The colour combination of the living room is a crucial part of this area’s decor. From the paint colours of the wall, sofas, shelves and storages and even paintings – the colours of the living room will serve as a backdrop to the ambience you want to create.
General tips on choosing a colour scheme for your living room
Do you know what would take your living room up a notch? A well-thought-of colour scheme and combination! How to choose, you may ask? If the paint colour of your wall is grey, just ask yourself: “what colours match or go well with grey?” This will effectively narrow down and speed up your search.
In other words, choose the base or main colour of your living room. From there, look into colour combination ideas that will either compliment, or accentuate the space. While there aren’t really bad ideas, there are tried and true living room colour combination colours. Here are some easy-to-match wall colours and possible combinations you can use to elevate your living room.
Keep it Cool
Let’s dive into the combination of cool colours, and one of the most popular choices is grey! It’s sophisticated, plus it matches most colours easily. Keep it simple with a monochromatic theme – get a dark sofa set, and accessories like rugs and pillows in different shades of grey. However, if you want to experiment, first ask yourself – what other colours match with grey? Well, getting a sofa like the Neuron 3 Seater Sofa with dark grey fabric and colourful ottomans will make the contrast more interesting.
Speaking of colourful ottomans, have you heard of the Credo Pouf? Available in four colours including Sea Green or Coral Orange, you can use it for a subtle contrast or as an accent piece! Can’t decide on a colour? Why not get both, as they both complement your living room’s colour palette?! After all, poufs can function as ottomans too, so they are definitely great steals!
Warm it Up
The combination of warm colours can really make your living room much more comforting and relaxing. One of the favourites is beige. It’s simple and clean, and this colour makes the room a lot brighter! But don’t mistake beige as a dull colour; it makes a great combination with warm shades such as burnt sienna, orange, and walnut. Not only that, pieces made of natural materials such as a wooden TV console or a sofa made of pure-aniline leather make a fantastic contrast to the delicate tone of this colour.
Romance in the City
Living in the city and longing for a quick, relaxing escape? A colourful contemporary living room in blush pink colour is the way to do it. This refreshing colour is an excellent contrast to neutral-coloured coffee tables such as the Uno Coffee Table , or jazz it a step further with terrazzo coffee tables! You can also consider accessories like ottomans and poufs, carpets, and side tables in bright red and yellow. Adding seaside and sunset paintings to the living room will surely add to that vacation vibe.
Back to Nature
How to choose a colour scheme for a Back to Nature living room? Go for sage green if you’d like to keep it safe. Otherwise, emerald green’s a good option, especially if you’re adventurous. Both of these wall paint colours can easily turn a simple room into an expressive environment that is often likened to a colourful contemporary space. This verdant hue matches perfectly with rattan furniture sofas such as the Rafael Sofa that’s all the buzz now! It comes with a colour combination of black and natural wood colours, as well as a grey fabric upholstery; matching it with a coffee table or accessory is as easy as ABC. You can also add botanical wall decors to further elevate the environment.
Bring the Drama
Black, an all-time favourite yet unorthodox living room colour, lends a touch of elegance to all rooms alike. Pieces in coordinating colours would look elegant against a black backdrop such as a wooden TV console and a dark grey sofa like Kimberly. You can go for a dark and intense piece, too. For this, olive green pieces like the Haber lounger or the Tour coffee table come to mind. Furniture that embodies modern luxury is also a great fit to the Bring the Drama living room colour combination.
Remember, the colour combination is just half the job done. What makes your living room are the pieces that you mix and match to create the ideal space. We hope you’ll find the perfect pieces of furniture and fixtures – no matter what colour you choose.
