The living room says a lot about your home and your style, and creates the entire ambience both for your leisure as well as for entertaining visitors. The good news is that there are thousands of ideas to do up your living room, and colour and shades you choose set the mood for the entire design of the room. Read on for inspiring new ideas for colour combinations you can play with!

This vibrant colour scheme makes your living room look youthful as well as eclectic. Magenta chairs and cushions are the statement pieces of this combination, with the green cushions and full length window screens giving just the right offset. Walls and furniture should be of a neutral colour like off-white, to avoid jarring with the rest of the colour scheme. Check the coffee tables that just blend in with the rest of the décor.

The Classic Grey Living Room theme is meant for smaller living rooms, to create the impression of intimacy and homeliness. Grey and off-white tones dominate the room. Furniture in lighter tones, and the walls coloured a deep shade of grey helps to keep the focus on the elegant furniture and takes away focus from the size of the room.

Antiguan Blue is the colour of choice for living rooms that are small. Blue creates a celestial airiness that gives the impression of being under a blue sky. Furniture is best upholstered in darker shades of blue, for example the Neptune-blue chairs. Minimal accessories break the airy sky effect in this design.

Orange is an unusual colour for a living room, and the perfect colour to use to create dynamism and vibrancy in the room. Use orange to create a clever backdrop if you have interesting artwork to cover your walls. Furniture used with this colour must be neutral, but a family heirloom piece like a chest of drawers that complements the wall would be a stand out piece.
