Picking Colors for the Living Room Design

A living room usually reveals something about the owner who gets to spend a lot of time there. If you want to create a living room design that will showcase your personality and  sense of creativity, select the appropriate colors that will light up your living space.

Pretty in Pink

A color  that many people both love and hate, is pink. Maybe it is because of its subtle yet unconventional charm. You cannot just discard it away by calling it a girl's color since it has also made its spot in the heart of so many people. If experimentation scares you, you may consider a baby pink color that has a whitish tone. There are many combinations of this color and a color palette of pinkish shades with blue, green and gray would produce a delicate welcoming appeal.

Plush in Green

Green paint colors provide relaxation and calmness to the living room. Greens are reminders of nature, thus a meadowy light green is able to bring the feel of nature in your living space. Choosing a mossy green for the walls is like walking through green woods every day. To get more depth or subtlety in color, pick green shades with undertones of yellow, taupe or gray.

Tropical Blue

Blue is a calm color which you can see almost everywhere you go. It is the color of the sky and ocean. Although soothing like water, a few of its shades could be depressing. Sky blue, periwinkle blue, aqua blue and carolina blue are fantastic tones of blue that you can use for your living room design as they are very soothing. Avoid using grayish blues excessively as it can easily dampen the ambiance.

Golden Tones

If you prefer a sunny warm feeling in the living room, the yellowish shades are able to bring a gentle and debonair quality to the walls. The yellow and black color combination give an impressive and high energy vibe that can bring liveliness in cool yellow. If you decide to pick yellow as your living room wall paint color, remember that it can be difficult to select  the appropriate shade from the color chart as yellow can be deceiving. What you thought as a subtle buttery yellow can end up being a garish eye sore. As a consequence, choose your yellow very carefully.

It is very important that you select a living room design that will reflect your taste. Through that, you can transform your living space into a more pleasant and fabulous one.
