what are some good colors to do a living room in ?

Answer 1

It depends on the size of the space and the taste of the people living there.

I would say neutrals are good, such as browns, black, greys, and whites/cremes. Also, darker greens and deep blues are good. If you are looking to make the room seem larger, I'd do a creme color on the walls. If you are looking for it to seem darker, I'd do a tan. Those colors are easy to pair with accessory and furniture colors.

Good luck.

Answer 2

The use of color is also something very personal. It stimulates our senses, power our mood, and helps create a particular ambiance. How we respond to an individual color depends on our nature, extroverts tend to feel happy with bold colors, while introverts prefer more passive colors.

Through using specific combinations of color, combined with a careful consideration of simple color schemes is often the most effective.

Try not to use more than one or two principal colors in a room, as well as a contrasting or balancing tone. The best way to choose a background color for the room is to trial with a palette of different shades and tones, in combination with the color and textures of the furniture and materials. Remember the general color schemes of a home have to be in agreement. The walls define the space in a room, while the colors, to a large degree, define the mood.

Colored light, furnishing materials, and structural proportions, we can create a home that is welcoming, helpful, and comfortable. Walls are similar to background music: each color tone is like a musical note can create a pleasant-sounding harmony while others grate with each other.

The color with which we surround ourselves will without doubt have an effect on us, and so it is important to feel comfortable with our choice. A discussion with a professional color consultant can help to decide individual needs and select appropriate color.

Colors can be divided into three main groups: those that stimulate and uplift, those that relax and calm, and those that provide harmony or balance. So, having taken a number of things into thought when decorating a room, such as the size of the space, the amount of light, the function if the room, and the style and mood we wish to create, we finally, and most importantly, need to consider the needs of the people who use it.

I'd suggest white and any other light colors. It's okay if you like bright colors and want to do that for a living room, but the colors would stand out more than the furniture. Light brown and cream is good.

Answer 4

You need to consider a lot of things for this. What theme are you going for? Remember, reds, oranges, yellows make a room seem busier or smaller, so if the room is huge, I'd suggest these. Your blues, greens, and purples have the opposite effect. They make a room seem bigger and more relaxed. Busy colors (reds, ect.) have more of an upbeat excited emotion while your calm colors (blues, ect.) will relax. I suggest to avoid white b/c it says blank, no personaliy, can't make up my mind and can look overly clean. if you like white though, i'd try for an off white, like a light cream, to accent the room. and then there are multiple colors in a room, similar colors to compliment each other, and painting techniques.
