Want to create a show-stopping living room? Try one of these fresh color schemes.
Eclectic Elegance
The color palette in this living room includes shades of turquoise, jade green and charcoal gray for a cohesive and sophisticated look. Designer Caitlin Murray unifies the eclectic mix of furnishings by painting the walls a bright white and using analogous colors throughout the space.
Traditional Neutrals
Neutral colors are the perfect background for a living room. Add accessories in muted shades or bright hues to achieve different looks. In this living room from HGTV’s Fixer Upper, designer Joanna Gaines pairs several shades of brown and tan with muted shades of green to create a calming but interesting atmosphere.
Breezy Contemporary
Cool blue cabinets and white walls contrast well with the dark brown ceiling beams to create a relaxing, contemporary living area. Designer Lindye Galloway adds interest to the coastal color palette by choosing patterned chair cushions and adding a soft blue area rug.
Deep Hues
Design a living room that makes a statement with rich, saturated shades, like the deep rust and wine-infused purple of this space. To keep the room from looking too dark, designer Kate Duckworth uses light-hued flooring and white baseboards.
Brightly Colored
This uplifting palette uses fuchsia to add a little passion, while the bright aqua creates an organic richness to the space. Designer Faith Blakeneyupdates the classic color palette of pink and green by using shades of aqua and fuchsia.
