We spend a lot of time in our living rooms. Some are formal spaces in which to receive guests and host gatherings, others are casual hangouts for the whole family. However you choose to use your main living space, the decor scheme should be both welcoming and engaging. Neutral design schemes have their place, but how about creating something a little more memorable? We’ve put together a collection of 40 two-color combinations for your living room that are sure to brighten and enrich your home. We’ll look at why these hues complement one another and how best to apply them to your interior for maximum impact.
Pink and green living room panels. Draw attention to color blocking in your living room with panel molded details. In this example, a sweet pink upper is richly contrasted by a dark green base.
Blue and yellow accent decor. A bold blue sofa will immediately draw the eye to the sitting area in an open-plan living space. Throw in contrasting yellow cushions and wall art to enliven the look. See more ideas for blue and yellow decor.
Blue and burnt orange. Burnt orange accents make a bright yet controlled accompaniment to blue living room decor. See more ideas for orange and blue interior design.
Brown and orange warmth. This orange living room is crowned with a canopy of wood across the ceiling. The natural wood tone compliments a tufted brown sofa and an Eames lounge chair.
Red and teal geometrics. If applying flat color to feature walls just doesn’t cut it for you, then consider adding visual depth with tonal geometric designs. These red and teal introductions create spatial illusions from end to end.
Purple and teal fusion. Heather flowers mean good luck, admiration, and protection, so why not bring their positive color into your living room, bound with a rich splash of teal.
Blue color blocking and brown furniture. Light and mid-blue bands create a cozy perimeter here, whilst wooden furniture and a jute rug make warming interludes. See more ideas for horizontal color blocking.
Dark teal and blush. Wall art, scatter cushions, and an ottoman make easily removable dark teal and blush accents in this living room. A blush wall panel risks a little more permanence.
Blue and gold mix. Expand upon an extraordinary statement wall by drawing out one of the colors, like the golden yellow couches in this blue and gold combo.
Mellow yellow and green setting. This understated two-color combination offers the joy of color without intensity and visual overwhelm. Instate interesting silhouettes to add dimension.
