-

Choosing the best color for your living room, the most public space in your home, can be daunting, but it doesn’t have to be. To offer some inspiration, here are five colour tips for your living room


1- Versatile blue
A perennial favorite for living rooms, blue is thought to evoke a sense of calm and order, but it’s also appreciated for its versatility. Blue is a color that works well with many styles of furniture, from traditional to modern, Which variety of blue to choose is a highly personal consideration. Some people want a deeper shade with warm undertones to create a cozy feeling in a room, while others might go for something light and airy


2- Energetic red
“Red is one of the most powerful colors,” It adds energy and life to a living room.To avoid an overload of this vibrant hue, however, it can be focused on one wall. Accent walls are terrific when you want to use a bold color like red but don’t want it to completely overpower pinpointing the best shade for your home may depend on the room’s lighting and architectural elements.

3- Atmospheric gray
Deep charcoal grays are gaining popularity in interior design these days.
Farrow & Ball’s Down Pipe for living rooms, “It’s a moody, soot-like gray that looks stunning on a focal wall behind a sofa or on all four walls to cozy up a room.” If you find yourself choosing between a few shades of gray, it is advised to get samples and painting poster boards that you can tape up and live with for a few days. Watch how the colors look at different times of the day and move the boards around to see how light affects them.


4- Vibrant yellow
A classically appointed living room in a cheerful yellow hue is a common sight in historic houses, perhaps because candlelight may have illuminated this color in an especially pleasing way. Today, yellow continues to attract homeowners who appreciate its vibrancy. Yellow living rooms can be welcoming, embracing, and even sophisticated for both formal and family-style settings. Warm golds tend to look better in more saturated variations, while the more lemony, cooler yellows look best when kept paler and less saturated.


5- Enduring white
White is a perfect backdrop for any style of living room, and because it is highly light reflective, it will make a room that may not have a lot of natural light appear brighter.
