The colors appear everywhere in the living room. There are colors on the wall, the paintings, picture frames, area rugs, wallpaper, jars, vases, figurines, and of course the furniture. Most homes are composed of a hundred colors thinking that it is fine to have them around especially in this area. Sometimes they do not even notice that the colors clash and do not match anymore making them look unpleasing to the eyes. It is still the best choice and practical if you opt to choose a theme color for this room and pick them accordingly so that they blend well with your furniture.
So how do you go on deciding about the theme color of your living room? You can opt to base them on your favorite colors if you like. If you have furniture already and you do not want to replace them, consider the colors that will match the hues of said furniture. Better yet, decide on the kind of look you want for the sitting room. When I say the kind of look, choose from contemporary, conventional, country look or an urbane appeal. There are various styles to choose from and each has corresponding colors. To help you with the theme, here are other looks you can choose.
If you are a nature lover, then you might as well make your living room speak of eco-friendly and environmental designs. When you want to be eco-friendly then you must have green plants in the room and those with colored blooms. Indoor plants are easy to care for needing ample amount of sunlight and regular watering. The main color therefore would be green which is very helpful for people who are always stressed out from work. Green hues help to relax the eyes and relieve the feeling of tiredness from your body. Aside from green, you can also opt for a blue room and get ocean and sea paintings to emphasize the look. You can pick both blue and green for your room since they blend well with one another. This way, your living room will exude a relaxing, tranquil, and serene atmosphere.
For small living rooms, it is a smart choice to have light colors in the room since they will help make the room look larger. Light colors are also easy to blend with. Specific colors for this look are tangerine and yellow especially if you want to brighten up your home. You can also collaborate this with a blue-green color combination.
Brown is a great color if you want an earthy look for the living room. You may want this kind of look especially during autumn and the perfect colors for this season are red, orange, and tangerine. For accentuations, we recommend gray and black, while cream, mocha, and tan can be the colors of your walls.
If you want to be more daring with the look of your room, you can use the element of disparity to create drama but not overdoing it so as not to make the colors clash so much. One example is the combination of lavender with light red and dark purple, which is good for a warm and comforting appeal. Light yellow and olive green can be your accentuating colors for the combination. Dark green with deep yellow and the blend of cream hues will help foster a tranquil and serene ambiance in the room.
Another seasonal theme you can opt to get is the spring theme. Here you will need to put flowery plants in the room and purchase floral wallpapers and carpets. The pillows may be of the colors yellow, pink, and lavender.
There are various kinds of living room furniture ranging from Italian, to modern, to traditional furniture. The material used also matter. Wood, metal, glass, and leather are famous choices.
You do not need to buy many furniture and accentuations to put up a good look for your living room. Matching the colors will help a great deal in making your living room look exceptional and unique.
Choose the kind of look that fits your standards and wants. It will be a very helpful guideline if you let yourself trust your personality in choosing the colors and theme of your living room.
