Living areas are the main hub of our home and the rooms where we spend most of our time entertaining and relaxing, so make sure that your living area reflects your taste and your personality.
If you have a relaxed style, then use light to mid tone colours with bright or textured accents in your cushions or accessories. If you are looking for a more formal style, try dark colours such as navy or deep charcoal, or alternatively a soft white or neutral colour scheme.
Find colour inspiration from a favourite rug, a piece of artwork or fabric in your room and draw out your colour scheme from there.
Feature walls are a great way to inject colour into your living areas. Choose a wall that is a focal point when you enter the room. Soft reds and purple shades create a warm, friendly space and work well with warm whites and natural green accents.
Variations on a Living Room
We have put some inspirational themes to the test. See our 3 feature wall variations below.
Surf and Sand
To create a breezy, beach retreat feel to your room, use a combination of soft sea inspired blues such as Soothing Seas on a feature wall with soft sandy neutrals on your remaining walls and crisp white trims.
Natural Warmth
For a sophisticated, contemporary living area, try a monochromatic colour scheme using warm, nature based driftwood tones. Use a deep charcoal such as Thunderbolt for either your feature wall or your accent with cushions or rugs.
Dramatic Splash
Add some drama to your living area, with a splash of colour on your feature wall. Alta Sierra is the colour on the remaining walls, and Gravel Chip for your accents such as artwork, fabrics or furnishings.
