Remember simplicity is key.
Balance bright colors with strong neutrals for a look that’s colorful but livable. Accents of peppy pink, lime green and yellow are sprinkled over a foundation of assertive neutrals on the brown chair, gray sofa, dark wood floors and black lighting.
Inspire with an area rug.
Living room wall colors should work with furniture and decor, not fight against them. In this colorful living room, pale sage walls act almost as a neutral background for other, more vibrant colors. A patterned area rug combines orange, pink, purple, green and blue and defines the color palette in this room, which helps the other accents and furniture pieces feel unified. One large piece of art on the walls adds interest to the busy space without overwhelming the palette.
