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.
