Tips For Adding Style To Your Living Room With Color
When it comes to the impact that the color of the living room has on mood, many people are clueless. Color is what makes a room look airy, elegant or rich, it is what give a room its cool or warm tone. You need to make sure that whatever you add to the room adds to the tone and setting that you desire, even though texture and pattern also play a large roll, everything you add give the rooms some color so chose wisely. If you want to achieve a desired look or feel this article will help you learn how to use color to help you with those goals.
Yellow and Red
While you may be thinking that these colors are too loud or bright, the exact opposite is true. You invoke the countryside of Southern France when you use warm reds and soft yellow tones. Then, for a relaxing, inviting and fresh look infuse some bright or moss green and then add sunflowers, floral prints and mustard toned ceramic pots.
White and Butter Yellow Strike a Paris Appeal
For a very nice, gently worn, French-inspired appeal go with butter yellow walls and white furnishings. An inviting, warm and romantic feel can be created by using white upholstery, aged pastels and painted furniture. Faint touches of red should outline throw pillows and small splashes of pale blue and green should adorn rugs and draperies. Using vintage fabrics adds to the authentic flair of the room.
Go Sophisticated with Dusty Chocolate and Lime
Are you into a sophisticated, modern style? Today, instead of brown being dull like before, brown is a color that helps give a room a rich and warm atmosphere and it does this through the softer, muted chocolate brown that it has become. Splashes of lime liven 0up the atmosphere and add vibrant color. You can get a really fun and lively look from lime green ottomans and elegantly painted canvases with touches of lime green. Completing the room's look can easily be done with oatmeal hued walls and accents with nubby textures such as throws and pillows.
Blue, Tan and White – Oh So Relaxing
Do you want an atmosphere in you living room that feels relaxing and inviting? Using colors like white, pale blue and sand really bring the ocean to mind. A blue rug that's the color of robin's eggs really tops wood flooring. Then rattan or woven furnishings really add to the island appeal. You can add to the room's airy feel with white sheers on the windows and white accent tables can give a worn look. Include some throw pillows and accents that have all three colors blended for some excitement.
These are only a few examples of what can be done with the use of color. Imagine all of the shades and colors that are readily available today, and what you can do with them. Now, whatever style you're going for, be it country comfort or contemporary class, romantic French or regal elegance, the use of color can help you achieve all of that by laying a foundation to work on.
Let your imagination be your inspiration when it comes to decorating your living room. Look for the types of living rooms you truly love online and in magazines. When that feeling of your living room beckoning to you to come and enjoy sets in you'll be happiest in your home.
