7 Living Room Colour Ideas That Make Neutrals A Thing Of The Past

May 7

Are you over those boring beige living room colour palettes? Do you want something bigger and better? You’ve come to the right place!

Neutrals may be versatile, but they’re also very dull. Everyone seems to choose neutrals because they're easy. But not you! You’re different.

So, just for you, we’ve got 7 living room colour ideas to help you forget all about those overdone neutrals! Let’s get started!

1) Grey-Green

Grey-green is a fan-favourite paint colour for living rooms for three reasons. It’s a natural and ambient shade of green, cool and calming, and the best pairing for natural wood furniture.

Recharge your living room with one of these grey-green shades:

2) Navy Blue

Even without the nautical theme, navy blue carries the same depth and mystery of the ocean with a slight regal twist. You can amplify this by pairing it with golden metallics, which create a serene and sophisticated living room.

3) Blush Pink

Blush pink is a softened white that’s kissed with pink to create warm and feather-light elegance. The “barely there” pink tones keep things nice and cozy while giving the room a little pep.
