I encourage everyone to test each paint color in your own home first before taking my word for it.
Color coordinating living room furniture.
For more tips from our interior design co author including how to complement your furniture with your living room colors read on.
Take all your furniture out and paint the walls with a crisp light gray or white paint.
Choose a color scheme for those areas first then pull one color from the scheme.
Use the color wheel.
Specifically the living room dining room and entry way.
It s neutral which makes for a sound wall color choice because it works with many other colors that you might incorporate such as blue orange yellow white black etc.
To make your living room feel warmer and more comfortable choose warm tones like deep reds burnt oranges golds or browns.
The green rug natural wood accents and multihued furniture lighten up the room without spoiling the cocoon like vibe.
Gray is a conservative color.
For a more relaxing fresh feel go for cool tones like blues cool violets and grays.
For example take the red sofa and tone it down say to burgundy for an accent in more private spaces such as the den office or bedroom.
If you love really bold colors make the background neutral and use your favorite hue in furniture.
If you love yellow let it dominate in the design and pair it either with a harmonizing or contrasting color depending on how vibrant you want the room to be.
