Dark Blue-Green

Designer Cecilia Casagrande chose rich jewel tones for this Boston Colonial living room. It's classic yet fresh.

Dusty Rose

Atelier ND and homeowner Carice Van Houten used a variety of plant species to liven up the room and create visual intrigue with different heights and shapes. It really freshens up the bold pastels and rich earthy tones for a unique composition. Pro tip: Don't forget to paint the ceiling for a more immersive impression.

Peach

The open floor plan in this Chicago family apartment designed by Bruce Fox called for cohesion between the dining and living room areas. That soft peachy paint and deep pink sofa are reflected in the printed armchair at the head of the dining table, and also mimic the rosy glow of the pendant light. The color scheme was inspired by a photograph taken of the family in London during spring when the city was veiled in cherry blossoms.

Clay

Dark gray walls can be a bit brooding, like storm clouds, but in the case of this sunny Manhattan apartment by Elizabeth Cooper, they look playful and contemporary. Cheerful pinks, a dash of cobalt blue, traditional granny-chic patterns, and whimsical artwork lighten the mood.

Nicole Franzen

Off-White

While bright colors can help liven up a room, it's not the only route. Take this neutral-toned living room by Kristin Fine: Soft and texture-rich upholstery mix with off-white paint, rustic wood pieces, and plenty of antique accents to make a surprisingly modern impression with lots of character.

Robert McKinley

Olive

Robert McKinley wanted to keep the color scheme in this country retreat earthy and neutral but also wanted to inject it with a little warmth. He opted for a quietly sophisticated shade of olive green for the walls while the chose a cream color for the wood-paneled ceiling.

Light Lime Green

Take your cues from the bold pattern mixing and modern artwork on display in this living room designed by Les Ensembliers. A light green color on the ceiling is an unexpected surprise that ties the whole room together.

Lemon Yellow

Light Fawn

This muted fawn color in a living room designed by Heidi Caillier is hard to pin down, and that's exactly why we like it. Not quite brown, not quite beige, it's a nice offbeat eath-tone option that functions as a neutral.

Simon Watson

Glossy Black-Green

Deep, dark, and glossy, the lacquered black-blue-green color makes this living room by Kristin Hein and Philip Cozzi seductive and mysterious. Paired with bohemian furniture and accents, the more moody qualities become more approachable and cozy.

Maura McEvoy

Kelly Green Splash

"I love the juxtaposition between the traditional space and the modern staircase," says Eliza Crater of Sister Parish Design. The rich kelly green accent wall and decorative floral curtains help bring some fullness and warmth to otherwise all-white surfaces in her home.

Bjorn Wallander

Charcoal

The traditional, neutral furniture in this room designed by Balsamo Antiques and Interior Design make a minimal visual impact so the moody colors, artwork, light fixtures, and other decorative accents can stand out. A deep, almost purple-gray tone turns out to be a wonderfully complex and evocative backdrop, so don't be afraid to try something different.

Douglas Friedman

Navy

Ann Pyne worked with decorative painter Arthur Fowler to create a contrasting geometric pattern on the walls. "I think of the puzzle-like shapes as a metaphor—it's a game of fitting all these disparate 'treasures' into a graphically coherent whole," she says. Matte navy blue and a gritty mustard tone work together to set a pensive and seductive backdrop—perfect for a smaller living room.

Crisp White

A crisp, matte white is totally timeless. Sherwin-Williams Pure White is there for you when you're not interested in going for a trending paint color.

Francesco Lagnese

Mint Green

Channel a lush tropical oasis, as Thomas Jayne and William Cullum did, with this fresh color. In a living room where the paint stretches all the way up to the rafters, the hue changes depending on the way the light hits it, shifting between sharp mint and soft sea foam green.

Paul Raeside

Khaki

Designer Garrow Kedigian defines a neutral as "anything that isn't jarring," which is a super helpful way to reframe things if cream, white, or gray simply isn't cutting it in your living room and you can't figure out why. Certain spaces just call for something outside the box, whether it's because of an architectural style, light exposures, or existing furniture. Here, the walls are painted Benjamin Moore's Rattan.

11 Best White Paint Colors 2022, According to Interior Designers

imaginimaGetty Images

Contrary to popular belief, there are as many shades of white as there are blue, red, and any other hue on the color wheel. Therefore, this can make finding the perfect white paint colors tricky. Overall, there are several factors to consider including undertones, brightness, and, of course, the room that’s about to undergo a makeover. Lucky for you, we’ve tapped several industry experts for foolproof advice.

Despite the overwhelming possibilities, white is hands down a solid paint color because it goes with everything and can easily set the mood of a space. Additionally, white-painted rooms tend to feel brighter and bigger (two much-welcomed benefits in design).

"I agree that white is the hardest color for most people to pick because there are so many options," Nicole Gibbons, interior designer and Clare paint founder, tells House Beautiful. However, this means versatility and she goes on to reveal all the best places to incorporate the shade. "In a north-facing room, you’ll want a warm white to balance out the cold light," Gibbons adds. "In a south-facing room, cooler whites counteract the yellowness of the bright sunshine."

Scroll on and you'll see all the points above in action alongside specific white paint colors that should be on your radar. A number of other interior designers and industry experts from Farrow & Ball to Benjamin Moore also weigh in on best-selling paints.

Contents

An atmosphere of comfort and hospitality should reign in it. You can create such a harmonious atmosphere by decorating the living room in bright colors.

Light interior makes the room feel more spacious and fresh

Features of the design of the living room in bright colors

Color design has a great influence on the perception of the room. This or that shade creates a mood in the room, fills it with warmth or freshness, cheerfulness or peace. Light shades help relieve tension, so they are suitable for decorating any room, including the living room.

Light pastel colors in the interior of the living room create coziness and visually expand the space

Benefits of interiors in light colors include:

Scandinavian style in the interior of the living room looks great

The main disadvantage of a bright interior is its soiledness. However, modern finishing and upholstery materials are practical and easy to clean from any dirt. Another relative disadvantage is the price of white furniture: it usually costs more than dark furniture. nine0003

Room decoration

One of the main stages in the design of a living room is the choice of finishing materials. It should serve as a background for the rest of the interior.

Wall, ceiling and floor finishes should be in harmony with selected light colored furniture

Walls

For wall decoration when creating a light interior use:

  1. Wallpaper on non-woven or vinyl. The most versatile option is a monophonic material. The white color of the walls will seem boring to many, so it is recommended to choose the color of ivory or vanilla. If the owners do not want to see plain walls, you can pick up wallpaper with a pale pattern, floral print. nine0006
  2. Paintable wallpaper is a versatile option. They can be repainted several times. A very convenient feature that allows you to easily and quickly change the design.
  3. Drapery with fabric. Such a finish will add charm and sophistication to the interior of the room, but the price for high-quality material will be high. The fabric is able to hide flaws on the walls.
  4. Decorative plaster is an easy-to-apply material that creates unique patterns on the walls.

Tip! You can revive a bright interior with small splashes of bright colors. Cushions, curtains, wall paintings in bright colors - all this can make the living room more inviting.

Below you can see a photo of the living room in bright colors with bright accents.

Ceiling

When designing a living room in bright colors, you can choose one of these popular options:

  1. Whitewashing and painting the ceiling in white or cream.
  2. Installation of stretch ceilings. The surface of the ceiling can be made matte or glossy. Brilliant gloss attracts attention, reflects light, which makes the living room seem brighter. The color for the ceiling can be chosen neutral white or pearl.
  3. Installation of ceiling beams. They can be natural light wood or painted white. Below in the photo you can see the design of the living room in bright colors with ceiling beams. nine0006

Beams on a white natural wood ceiling highlight the stylish design of the living room

Sex

Floor covering for a modern living room interior in light colors, you can choose from the following options:

  1. Self-leveling floor - a seamless polymer coating that looks like linoleum, but to the touch - tiles. The disadvantages include a small selection of design, difficult dismantling.
  2. Linoleum is a cheap and practical material, it has many colors and patterns. You can opt for white, gray or gold colors. nine0006
  3. Porcelain stoneware is a dense artificial material that is resistant to moisture and mechanical damage. Materials are available in cream, white and beige colors.
  4. Laminate is a material that is much cheaper than parquet, but outwardly able to imitate it. Laminate is durable and wear resistant.
  5. Parquet is an expensive, luxurious material. Light flooring is made from birch, ash, maple, hornbeam, alder and bleached oak.
  6. Carpet is an impractical material, but it brings comfort and warmth to the living room atmosphere. nine0006

Tip! Hard-to-clean carpet can be replaced with a large, long pile carpet.

Light parquet in the interior of the living room looks very organic and expensive

Living room lighting

In the interior of the living room, decorated in bright colors, much attention is paid to lighting, especially if it has small window openings. It is recommended to curtain windows with transparent tulle or organza and curtains made of light material. It is better that the color of the curtains is combined with the color of the sofa cushions. nine0003

Sofa cushions will always fit perfectly into the interior of the living room if they are sewn from the same fabric as the curtains

Spotlights, ceiling chandeliers, wall sconces, floor lamps and table lamps can be used as artificial light sources. It is desirable that all lighting devices are in the same style. Lamps should be selected in white, sand, silver or gold, so that they organically fit into the interior in light colors. nine0003

Furniture selection

When designing the interior of a living room in light colors, it is necessary to show restraint in the selection of furniture. If you install too many pieces of furniture, you can clutter up the space, spoiling the entire interior. In addition, the furniture should not blend into the background. It should be a few shades darker.

A standard set of living room furniture is sufficient.

Upholstered furniture

Modular sofas are popular today. They are in separate sections. By removing or substituting modules, you can reduce or increase the length of the sofa. The modular design can be shaped into a straight or corner sofa. Both an expensive and massive classic-shaped sofa and a strict, laconic modern-style sofa will harmoniously fit into the universal light interior. nine0003

Tip! A white or beige leather sofa will look spectacular in a bright living room.

Storage system

It can be a classic solid or modular wall, display cabinet, cabinet, rack. The owners of small living rooms should give preference to open shelving, cabinets with mirror or glass inserts. Such furniture makes the room lighter and deeper.

Attention! nine0097 Light shades are lighter, so they should be on top, and dark ones should be on the bottom.

Coffee table

A compact model made entirely of tempered glass would be suitable. The transparent surface allows light to pass through itself, due to which it seems as if the table does not take up any space in the room at all.

Interior styles in light colors

When decorating a living room in bright colors, as in the photo, you can stick to a certain style. nine0003

Classic

This timeless style is able to demonstrate the high social status and material wealth of the owners of the house. The living room must be decorated with columns and stucco, natural materials should be selected for decoration. Parquet should be on the floor, the walls can be pasted over with plain wallpaper in white or milky color. A dim pattern on the wallpaper is allowed. Furniture should be massive, made of natural wood, decorated with gilding and carvings. All interior elements are placed symmetrically. Mandatory elements of the classic style are a fireplace and a large crystal chandelier on the ceiling. nine0003

Minimalism

When creating an interior in this practical style, you will have to get rid of all unnecessary furniture. Only the necessary elements should be present in the living room. The room is spacious, bright, light and airy. Furniture in the style of minimalism has a strict rectangular shape and is functional. The abundance of textiles and decor for minimalism is unacceptable. You can decorate the design of the living room in light colors with a fluffy plain carpet or low-pile carpet, straight curtains made of light fabric, sofa cushions, black and white paintings or photographs in rectangular frames. nine0003

Loft

Loft-style living room is often decorated in dark colors. But the loft style also has light options. For the floor, parquet or laminate in the color of bleached wood is selected, wooden beams are installed on the ceiling, three walls are painted with white paint or finished with white decorative plaster. One of the walls stands out with brickwork. A loft-style living room should have a lot of seats - sofas, armchairs, ottomans. There should be many small soft pillows on the sofa. All furniture should be roomy and have wheels so that it can be easily rearranged. A loft-style living room must have a large TV with a speaker system and an extravagantly colored carpet. nine0003

Modern

This style involves the use of the latest designer pieces of furniture. Wall decoration is done with fabric, light wood panels, pastel-colored paint. Parquet or marble is laid on the floor. Art Nouveau furniture is distinguished by smooth lines and rounded corners, the presence of carved and forged elements. The sofa can be decorated with tapestry inserts. Often sofas and armchairs in Art Nouveau style act as accent elements. In such a situation, red or orange will be suitable colors for upholstered furniture. nine0003

You don't need to be a designer to beautifully decorate the living room interior in bright colors, as in the photo. Light colors are perfectly combined with each other, so creating a harmonious design is not a difficult task. In the bright living room it will always be a pleasure to relax after a hard day's work, watch TV with your family and drink tea with friends.

Monochrome

Babayants architects social networks

White with white on white is not quite what they mean by monochrome room design. There really is one main, leading monopoly color. It fills the entire space: walls, floor, ceiling. Grabs furniture. But if you use only one shade, the room will become flat, like a sheet of paper. Volume and fullness in monochrome rooms are obtained due to the many halftones and shades. For example, more pale and dark. Saturated and vice versa, calm, balanced, warm and cold. nine0003

Another technique is a mix of textures for finishing walls, floors, ceilings, furniture upholstery, textiles. Smooth surfaces can be alternated with:

  • textured wallpaper;
  • gypsum panels;
  • moldings;
  • stucco;
  • decorative plaster;
  • microcement;
  • wood and stone;
  • elements in accent fabrics: boucle, jacquard, matting or linen.

    Pastel colors are the same blue, red, green, but muted with white, mixed with it. The result is dusty, calm, delicate colors.

    It is important to keep the proportions. Non-professionals can use a simple scheme: 60% is the main color, 30% is an additional color, and only 10% is an accent color. nine0003

    Basic colors

    These are the ones that form the space, fill it. They occupy the largest area in the room and are the backdrop for furniture, decor, textiles. For the living room, the base color is the color of the walls, ceiling, floor, large pieces of furniture: a sofa, bookcases.

    White

    Cartelle design social networks

    In fact, designers rarely use boiled white. If you look closely, you can see a subtle milky, smoky or other of the many existing shades. This avoids the feeling of "sterility". nine0003

    White is a rather whimsical color. It is often used in spaces where there is little light to add air. But here it is important to know: in dark, poorly lit rooms, it can become grayish. Moreover, white will look different in the morning and in the evening, in winter and in summer. Strongly influences perception and electric light.

    But white has a significant plus - it is "omnivorous", combined with absolutely any color. White is the perfect canvas.

    Gray is multifaceted, can be warm and cold, have different subtle shades: green, blue, brown. It is suitable for sunny, hot rooms, the windows of which face south and southeast. It will help make the space more "cool".

    Gray is easy to combine with many other colors: yellow, blue, red, green, purple.

    Beige

    After an overabundance of beige interiors at the beginning of the 2000s, this color was on the list of anti-trends for a long time. Beige was perceived as synonymous with boredom and monotony. And there is some truth in this. Such an interior can easily become faceless and dreary. Beige requires carefully selected accents. They are necessary to create character, dynamics.

    Social networks of the studio of Irina Malakhova

    In recent years, designers have returned beige to our houses and apartments. It is especially relevant for eco-interiors, styles that imitate the natural landscape.

    In terms of compatibility, beige is more difficult than white and gray. Finding a mate is much more difficult. Different shades will suit different partners. And shades of beige - a dozen or more: ivory, gray-beige, sand, creme brulee.

    Warm beige goes well with brown and terracotta. Cold - with shades of blue and green. And both are black. nine0003

    Social networks of designer Svetlana Vershinina

    Since they are subdued and calm, they will not irritate the eyes. But the base ones will perfectly shade, make the space deeper and more voluminous. In such tones, you can paint sections of the walls, choose a pastel carpet or curtains, a sofa or armchairs.

    Bright accents

    Decorative pillows, a plaid casually thrown on the arm of a chair, a bright spot in a picture, a vase or a figurine — you can choose a bright color for all these small but significant details. Or paint one of the pieces of furniture.

    Social networks of designer Elizaveta Skryabikova, Level design studio

    These can be:

    • Shades of blue: turquoise, sapphire, azure, cobalt and others. nine0006
    • Terracotta is one of the hottest colors this year. It resembles clay or brick.
    • Sunny, energetic yellow. He returned to the interiors.
    • Lilac and purple. Their shades have come to the fore thanks to the Pantone Institute and its 2022 Color of the Year.
    • Green. Another consistently trendy color. Living rooms in a modern style in light colors can be complemented with elements of emerald, malachite, olive color.

    Ceiling

    In modern interiors the ceiling is often decorated in a light palette: white or the most pale beige or gray shades are chosen.

    Social networks of designer Elizaveta Skryabikova, Level design studio

    If the floor slabs are sufficiently even, no communications pass through them, they are simply plastered or painted. In other cases, you can sheathe the ceiling with drywall and only then apply finishing materials. For apartments in eco-, country-style and Provence, wood is often used for ceiling sheathing: lining, imitation timber, plywood. nine0003

    If you want to carry out the work as quickly as possible and without unnecessary dirt, you can stop at the stretch ceiling. Preferably a matte solid color finish. Solutions with a shadow adjoining, as well as a seamless joint, look interesting.

    Walls

    Social networks of the studio of Irina Malakhova

    The cheapest option is to wallpaper them. Today, you can find options with the texture of wood, concrete, stone, plaster, or just a plain plain coating. In some cases, a discreet and unobtrusive pattern will look organic. For example, vegetable or geometric. nine0003

    One of the popular ways to decorate walls is with paint. More often choose a matte monochromatic coating of basic shades.

    Decorative plaster, microcement can be used. These are already more expensive materials. An interesting and rarer solution is draping the walls with fabric.

    Social networks of designer Yana Sergunina

    The choice of materials for the floor is limited only by the imagination of the customer, the designer and, of course, the budget.

    The most affordable is linoleum. Now it is not used as often as it used to be, but if funds are limited, this option can be considered. Moreover, the choice of textures and patterns has expanded significantly in recent years. And the quality has improved.

    In the class above - laminate, quartz vinyl and porcelain stoneware. The first two tactilely resemble a tree. The latter can imitate it only outwardly. But porcelain stoneware is considered a more natural coating.

    Among the expensive solutions: engineered board and parquet. They are chosen by connoisseurs of natural materials. nine0003

    As for the color, it does not have to be white or very light. Natural wood shades, as well as shades of natural stone, look harmonious.

    Furniture can sound in unison with the rest of the space, complement a single palette. Or maybe accent, characteristic.

    In the living room, the sofa group dominates. It includes not only the sofa itself, but also the armchairs adjacent to it, ottomans, and a coffee table. In monochrome interiors, they set the rhythm due to interesting shapes and textured upholstery. Another interesting technique is to add one vintage item to modern items. If the interior of the living room is built on contrasts, one or more pieces of furniture can become bright spots on a neutral background. nine0003

    These can be both individual works and whole compositions assembled from several canvases.

    You can easily and quickly transform a room with the help of textiles: curtains, tulle, decorative pillows, carpets, plaids can either continue a single palette in monochrome solutions or act as contrasting details. The beauty of textiles is that they can be changed every season. For example, collect different sets for summer and winter. nine0003

    And, of course, the interior comes to life thanks to the talking little things: vases with or without flowers, candles, figurines, decorative figures, mirrors - all this tells about the character, views, passions of the owners of the apartment.

    Wabi-sabi

    This is a special Japanese philosophy. As applied to interior design, it dictates maximum simplicity, modesty and unity with nature, close to asceticism. Grayish, beige shades, natural shapes and textures emphasize the sustainability of this style in the best possible way.

Natural shades, including light colors, are the base for it. nine0003
