Time well spent with friends and family is like refreshing with positive energy. It prepares us for the next day’s work. The one and only place where we spend most of the time is the living room. Let’s see how we can colour this space more attractive and look beautiful to spend more time. Let’s choose the colours that will drive us to set the mood and relax the mind. Choose from some bold and bright colours to neutral or moody, here are a lot of ideas to inspire you to paint the living room in residential interior design.
Colours for Living Room:
Ocean Blue: Looking for some extra punch for the living room, then ocean blue is the best option to add love and boldness. Ocean blue makes home a vacation spot for us to enjoy every day. It makes us feel as if we are on a vacation with this wanderlust colour right in the living room.
Mint Green: Want to experience a tropical oasis then fill the room with this fresh mint green colour. Colour the wall way up so that when the light falls on it, the hue changes depending upon the rays.
Sage Green: Want to place memories on the gallery wall in the living room then this colour is a must for walls that bring in gorgeous nature indoors. A mix of green and grey gives a feel of fresh air adding the right touch for gallery pics. Try to add dark furniture and antique structures to call it home.
Cream: Do you need a natural look in the living room that makes you feel inviting, then go for a cream finish wall and pair it up with a wood finish, jute rug, and brass items that reflect the paint colour.
Coral: Coral colours like pink add a romantic touch to space. Try colouring a window or some small part in the nook with bright colour giving it a unique look rather than making it feel as though the room is painted with bubblegum.
Lilac: Why do you want to choose one fun colour when we can experiment with two colours? Go for a fire engine red and violet colour combination to colour your living room walls. Tie it up with embroidered throw pillows to pair it with the colours. Use one colour on the walls and the other on the ceiling to give a unique look.
Tangerine: Have you ever tried colouring the wall in orange. It’s a great way of showing your artwork behind those walls. The wall gives a sunny look to the room highlighting the artworks and antiques present in the room. If you are a person who loves sunny days then choosing this tangerine colour would add a vacation to your home.
Powder Blue: Entering a room with blue coloured walls just soothes our mind and calms the day. Trying out a monochrome palette allows us to focus more on interior design and furniture.
Neon Pink: Have you ever wondered how a hot pink would look in your living room. It's an intense colour that is eye-catching and adventurous at the same time. Pairing it with contrasting colours like blue and traditional furniture would transform into a timeless era.
Raspberry: Raspberry colour gives a friendly and sophisticated feel to the space. It adds up an inviting, bolder and brighter look to the walls than the usual cream walls. Placing brown colour furniture, metallic gold and orange colour decor add depth to the room.
Crimson: Everyone loves red because of its bright colour but trying to paint a wall with that colour is not the ideal choice. Going for some richer shades of crimson warms the space and to add contrast to the walls pair it up with blue and pink colour decor and furniture. Your living room shall look dashing with the warm colour yet it doesn’t look like a fire engine room.
Bold Yellow: Who doesn’t love yellow, that gives a sunny look to the room, but painting a complete wall with that colour would scare us away. Let’s try to paint a single side of the wall or a door or a window that would calm our thoughts yet fulfil our wishes.
Clay: The warm colour clay sets off a neutral look and when paired with creme colour furniture and colourful artwork hangings on the wall would add beauty of its own. Clay colour takes us back to the old days where only a few colours would be seen painted on the walls. This colour has managed to stay intact till today adding its glow to the walls when paired perfectly with interior decors.
Navy Blue: If you have that one room that is small and need to be painted then navy blue is the idle choice. It helps to blend in with the room making it look spacious and yet cozy. Navy blue is considered a timeless colour.
Olive Green: Different shades of green add beauty to the walls. Ever tried to paint your wall with shades of green, especially olive green. Try out this time to give some traditional feel to your living room. It reflects the light and shows up different combinations of its colour. Try to decor the room with dark brown furniture, colourful pillows and gold colour antiques to bring in the natural look to the space.
