Colour Combinations That Bring a Living Room to Life
Warm neutrals with a bold accent: Soft beige or cream walls with one deeper feature wall in terracotta, teal or navy add depth without overwhelming the room.
Calm and airy: Light grey or off-white with soft blue or sage green details creates a peaceful, open feel, especially in rooms with limited natural light.
Rich and cosy: Deep earthy tones such as olive, brown and mustard suit larger rooms with plenty of daylight.
Bright and cheerful: Sunny yellow or warm orange paired with white trim gives a lively, welcoming space.
Tips for choosing:
- Test shades on the wall and look at them in morning, afternoon and evening light.
- Consider your furniture and flooring first, as the paint should complement them.
- Follow the 60-30-10 rule: 60% main colour, 30% secondary colour and 10% accent.
