Looking for a new living room colour scheme that you'll love for years to come? While it's true that neutral room schemes provide a blank canvas, there's a lot to be said for introducing colour. Different shades can have an uplifting or calming effect and your choice of colour and soft furnishings can go a long way to reflecting your personality...
50 Shades Of Beige
Beige is back – layering different colours of beige like stone, taupes and sand can transport your home to tropical climates! These kind of neutral colours used in combination with rustic and bohemian accessories – think terracotta ceramic pots, wicker baskets and tasselled cushions - are perfect for a beachy, laid back look.
Dramatic Dark Hues
Create a brooding sense of intrigue by painting your walls and surfaces in a dramatic dark shade, a popular colour this year is a deep navy. On-trend, darker shades of paint may feel like a risky move, but shadowy tones come into their own and the key is to balance with large areas of neutral.
Sweet And Sugary Shades
Opt for impact with a sugary shade – decorating with pastel colours needn't mean going entirely pale. Pair with furniture and accessories in a darker colour, which will serve to balance the lighter tones. Use matt emulsion to create a fashionable low-sheen look – a velvety, almost chalky finish – ideal for smaller spaces.
