A neutral color palette is always a safe choice, but if you’re feeling adventurous, we have the perfect, colorful living room ideas for you
Your living room is the place where you sit with your family after a hard day at work, relax on vacation and invite your guests for entertaining meals and lively conversations. That’s why this one room has to be everything – warm and inviting and happy and exciting. One of the best ways to create a space that combines all of the above and brings out your creative side is to choose light living room colors. The idea may seem far-fetched at first glance, but we have selected some stunning designs that are sure to make you fall in love with the idea of a bright and colorful living room. Let’s take a look!
You may not want to prefer bright colors in your living room, and that’s completely understandable. But you can still breathe life into this space and transform it into a unique, unforgettable space by adding just a dose of vibrancy. A good example is scattering pops of yellow throughout a bright room. It works well to give the room a vibrant look but at the same time is not too bright or overwhelming to the eye. The yellow of the cushions, chairs and decorations make this living room a feast for the eyes. While yellow is a good choice, you can opt for any other bright color like pink or orange that goes well with the overall color palette of your living room.
Using two different colors for your sofa and wall is a fantastic way to add some color and vibrancy to your living room. Coral and dark blue look stunning yet elegant together. Although you can choose any color combination that suits you, if it impresses you, you can further enhance the look of the room with some gold furniture, table lamps and planters. Use the color blocking technique in your living room by combining a soft shade with a bold color. The softness of the coral complements the dark blue sofa set perfectly – it even helps tone it down – and the result is a modern-looking space.
Sofas in neutral colors are very popular in living room design. But even if you choose sofas in these hues, you can still add some color and spice to your living room with an accent wall. A bright colored accent wall is a great way to make your living room stand out without overdoing it. Just choose a sofa set in white, gray, light brown or similar shades, choose a light color for the wall behind it and you will create a living room that is guaranteed to attract people.
Even though the use of teal or related hues on sofas is still common, how often do we think about painting a living room wall teal? Not enough! That’s one thing that definitely needs to change – considering how classy and elegant this teal living room looks. Pair it with some gray furniture and matching decor and add touches of gold here and there. The end result will be a stunning living room that is not only perfect for everyday activities, but also a delight for guests. Other great colors for colorful living room ideas include mint green, powder or light blue, yellow, tangerine, pink and purple. Neutral curtains in a bright living room are an excellent choice.
Choose a soft color for your wall – like pink – and pair it with a bright sofa and chair set that will stand out. This is a great way to create a colorful living room. Add matching bean bags, pillows, geometric furniture and decor and the room becomes even more lively and playful.
If your living room is more monochromatic, a bright color like yellow can be perfect to add some color and pop. You can add accents to the TV cabinets, shelves, pillows, window coverings or decorations in your chosen bright color – the possibilities are endless.
If your living room is predominantly gray or even white, orange can have a wonderful effect and add some vitality and life. Add a few orange pillows, rugs and pendant lights, a few plants and wooden bookshelves – and you’ll create a fun and lively living room that will delight you and your guests.
Even if you want to add a traditional touch to your living room, adding some bright colors to your palette can help highlight your space and make it like no other. This Moroccan-style living room design plays cleverly with colors, relying on blue for the windows and the cupboard, orange for the wall and multicolors for the carpet and cushions. The massive plant adds natural color and a unique touch to the room.
A list of bright colors would be incomplete without mentioning purple and orange – a bold combination that is very popular in interior design. This living room design uses orange and purple in just the right proportions, adding life to the room without going overboard with the colors. The wall painted in a different but equally strong shade of purple is the icing on the cake.
