Living Room Colour Combination Ideas
A living room space can serve many purposes and is often the focal point of a home’s design, because of that, sometimes it can be a bit overwhelming to conceive the perfect living room design, but choosing the right colour palette is an important first step.
- Colour Purple
The inspiration for our next living room colour idea comes from the Pulitzer winning book by Alice Walker – The Colour Purple. In it, the colour purple symbolizes all that is beautiful and good in the world. No wonder, as purple has long been associated with royalty, grandeur, dignity, mystery, even magic and we believe there can’t be a more magical colour for your living room walls. In this room, shades of purple are combined with white and grey, casting the spell. The paler shade on the walls is soothing, while the deeper purple of the sofas whispers indulgence. The whites and greys of the cushions and carpet are set off with hints of black and metal tones in the accessories. These further heighten the sense of drama, mystery and allure of the room.
- Citrine Yellow and Turquoise
Citrine yellow and turquoise is an amazing combination that goes way back to our grandparent’s era. It may sound a little off to us now, but it is a timeless combination. To add more of a boho look, you can hang some handmade macrame, preferably off-white, on the turquoise wall. To pull off a complete boho look, you can even add net or lace curtains over your windows, along with placing a money plant in the corner.
- Black Beauty, A Living Room Colour Combination That Can’t Go Wrong
Given black’s connotations of power, elegance and sophistication, it is only natural that we draw on the power of Black Beauty, the handsome horse made immortal in Anna Sewell’s book by the name. When it comes to living room paint colours, black and its ally grey don’t immediately come to mind. This stunning room done up in black and greys is sure to convince you otherwise.
The walls of this room are painted a rich grey that intensify the rich sophistication of the room. A smart black modern chair, standing lamp and other accessories add to the refinement. Accent colours of white with a hint of yellow keep the room airy and light.
- Pink and Peachy Cream
If you believe in a fantasy barbie world, this is a classic, chic option that is perfect for you. Paint your entire living room in peachy cream, and make one wall a statement wall by going bold, painted in pink. This is one of the finest colour combinations for people who are looking for a bright and bold choice
- Quarters of the Orange
Quarters of the Orange with its threads of mystery, complex characters, and yum inducing recipes redolent with the scent of oranges. The sharp tang of orange contrasts with its sweet tones, making it one of the best colours for the living room.
This room bursts with shades of orange against grey walls. Various hues of orange dot the space, bringing out the natural warmth of Living room furniture. The orange theme is echoed in the choice of light fixtures, the planters spilling over with greens, and even the teacups that grace the table. It’s the clever choice of subtle orange pattern that decorates the back of the cabinet that makes the room.
- Wheat and Crimson
If you wish to add space to your living room, opt for wheat for all your walls and pillars, and add crimson to your ceiling. You can elevate this look by adding a false ceiling of plaster of Paris along with some dull lighting. Classic paintings hung over the wheat walls will complete the look. This is certainly one look that will stand out.
- A Spool Of Blue Thread
The blue thread symbolizes the love that ties all the family members together, it is their bond which may get tested but never breaks. The trust and loyalty that blue inspires is what we turn to for our next living room colour idea.
Blue and white are a timeless pair – and they work brilliantly as a colour combination for this living room. The royal, almost sapphire blue, wall is the dramatic setting for the rest of the room. Blues are scattered across the room in the form of armchairs, hints of indigoes in the artwork and soft furnishings, the patterned vase and crockery on display, and an Oxford blue sofa throw. In sharp contrast are the crisp white of the sofa and accessories. The modern white light fixture effectively seals the deal.
- Pretty Patterns
You can choose a light shade for all the walls in your living room and on one large wall, opt for large patterns with a completely contrasting colour. This will provide a pop of colour and make for a captivating wall. Tea rose walls, paired with burgundy shaded patterns, are a good option. The classic combination of black and white is also a great idea. The other way to pull this look off is to paint all your walls in the shade of cream or coffee and accommodate large prints in a much darker shade from the same colour family. Adding a bit of gold here and there too might do wonders.
When selecting the best colour combination for your living room, consider your personal style and preferences while keeping in mind the balanced and inviting space.
