Family rooms are synonymous with the term household hub. Often used interchangeably with the term living room, a lot goes down in these warm and welcoming spaces. This area is a place for socializing, family recreation, and often for quiet relaxation, so it's understandable if you're set on nailing the perfect color scheme. The family room must meet the needs of various purposes and multiple people, all while feeling more comfortable than a more formal living room. These days, many homes only have one living space or blend these names together, so we'll refer to these terms synonymously.

Whether you're opting for bolder color schemes, two-color combinations, classic neutrals, or anything in between, your family room paint color can match the function and feel of your space. We've gathered 20 different ideas to help you choose the best color for your family room walls. The Spruce's Paint Calculator can help you determine how much paint you'll need to get started.

Beautiful family room paint ideas are a quick and easy way to add personality to a family room, no matter the size or style.  

Whether your family room is an oasis of calm or home to a house full of children, nothing can transform a space like carefully-chosen paint ideas. Take a look at these brilliant family room paint ideas to inspire your own decorating scheme.

Family room paint ideas

When you are looking for family room ideas, paint should be the first thing to consider. Ensure your chosen hues work well in your room by applying testers of paint onto sheets of white paper, then tacking them onto each wall you’re thinking of using that color on. 

If you’re not confident in choosing a scheme, go with a pre-selected paint ideas palette already picked out by the paint brand you’re using, or take inspiration from the color wheel on working with tonal, harmonizing and contrasting colors.

1. Build up a layered palette

When you typically consider using paint to create impact in a room, the first thought tends to be drenching the walls in a bright hue. While this is a tried and tested way of creating a statement, there are more delicate ways to achieve just as much of an impact. Mood-lifting and warm, yellow room ideas bring confidence and optimism to a space, so it is a no-brainer for this energetic room.

In this family room scheme from interior designer Anna Spiro, a high-gloss white paint on the walls bounces around light, making the surfaces nearly appear liquid with shine. Architectural details have been picked out in a beautiful deep yellow, adding not only color, but an excellent grounding element. Living room furniture ideas and accessories in similar but not quite matching tones create a warming spectrum of sunshine across the space.

2. Embrace the 'color drench' trend

Color drenching is the process of choosing one color and painting it across multiple surfaces in one space. The result is beautifully bold and thoroughly modern, though its appeal extends beyond its fearless aesthetic.  

I like painting small rooms in a dark color to make them feel cozy,’ says interior designer Amelia McNeil, who designed this scheme. ‘I even painted the window and architrave in the same blue so that the Phillip Jeffries wallpaper could be the main focus.'

Interior designer Rachel Chudley agrees: 'The trap that people fall into is that they consider dark rooms to be wrong and just paint them white. I like to lean into the darkness and explore the depths of color. Go for a very deep shade but in a high gloss paint and this will reflect the light around a family room.' 

3. Create contrast in a dynamic family room

Using an interesting paint color pairing, such and blue and orange, in a family room will alter the atmosphere in the space, explains interior decorator Nicola Harding, founder of Nicola Harding & Co. 

Orange is a color that many of us shy away from, but when paired with blue – the color diametrically opposite on the color wheel – it can create a vibrant yet welcoming scheme. Also referred to as complimentary colors, this combination is guaranteed to add drama to any room.

‘The greater the degree of contrast there is, the more drama there is in the room and when there is less contrast, the space is calmer.’ As a general rule of thumb, you want to include high contrast when you want a dynamic, high energy feeling. ‘That of course includes kids’ bedrooms and family rooms which are naturally more energetic anyway as they are filled with their toys, books, artwork and a TV,’ says Nicola.

4. Spark joy with a vibrant color scheme

Vibrant and impactful, emerald green is a joyous hue that can deliver different looks – think upbeat and modern and even classic and regal. 

‘Don’t fight a room being small and dark: often it works really well to embrace strong colors instead,' says Katharine Paravicini, founder, Katharine Paravicini Interior Design. 'A striking yet warm green on the walls will have the effect of creating an intimate and cozy family space. ’ 

Here, Katharine Paravicini embraced a strong, jewel-like hue in a small and narrow family room, broken up by a bay window to create an illusion of space.

Color specialist Annie Sloan agrees: 'Don’t overcomplicate schemes with this paint shade and let it take center stage. Purples, lilacs and pale blues would make wonderful tonal companions because it’s a true green. Pastel pinks will contrast fabulously and could be used to suggest a brilliantly Instagrammable, Wes Anderson-esque, grand millennial space.’ 

5. Take it down a notch with grey paint

Grey paint ideas that straddle the boundaries between blue, green and grey can be many things: front and center or a background to show off art and objects. Easy to live with, grey living room ideas look beautiful in west- or south-facing rooms while being suitably moody in family rooms with less light.

‘I love using this sort of color on walls in family rooms as it allows paintings and portraits to really sing out,' says Anna Haines, founder, Anna Haines Design. 'It feels both calming and quiet and also works as the ideal backdrop for a range of rich textiles, decorative antique rugs and furniture.’ 

6. Keep it simple with a calming neutral

In these unsettled times, embracing colors rooted in nature can be both comforting and grounding. 

‘Not to be confused with cold and bland palettes, new neutrals are warm by nature,’ says Charu Gandhi, founder and director of Elicyon. ‘Typically matt in finish, they have the ability to flex, and so it’s possible for them to suit any type of home, be it traditional or contemporary – in fact, their elasticity is the reason we’re calling them “new”.’

One vital aspect to consider when decorating with neutrals is bringing in as much texture as possible, as it creates interest and layers – important factors when strong paint colors are out of the picture.

7. Warm up with burgundy

Rich and nuanced, an earthy pink has a depth that lends sophistication to a scheme. A verstaile hue, it can veer into burgundy or brighten into a deep coral. 

‘This tone works perfectly in a family room that is rather dark, or which suffers from a lack of natural light,' says Elizabeth Hay, founder, Elizabeth Hay Design. 'Not only does it inject a space with brightness and cheer, but it will also bring out and highlight any accent colors in the room.’ 

‘We love to use dark pink in more formal family rooms, like drawing rooms, as it can actually add quite a masculine feel, especially when paired with olive greens or earthy browns,' adds Nicole Salvesen & Mary Graham, co-founders, Salvesen Graham. 'Simple classic shapes on upholstery also stop pink from feeling too fussy and overpowering.’ 

8. Take inspiration from nature

Inspired by the natural world, olive is restful with a touch of heritage. Strong yet soothing, it brings an enveloping feel but can also sit quietly and allow bold furniture to shine.  

‘This is a wonderful paint color that works well all through the year and is ideal if you are trying to bring an element of nature or a heritage feel into a more contemporary city home,' says Emma Sims-Hilditch, founder and creative director, Sims Hilditch. 'It’s a restful and calming shade which not only works well on cabinetry but also looks great on walls in a family room.’ 

Here, the warm tones in the deep olive on the walls give this family room by Gunter & Co a cosseting feel, while the absence of pattern keeps it calm. 

9. Introduce atmosphere with red

Choosing a family room paint ideas can be complicated but there are a few basic principles to help steer you in the right direction, explains Patrick O’Donnell, brand ambassador for Farrow & Ball. 

‘Red is linked with passion, energy and action. The color is also associated with increasing our metabolism, hence its popularity in dining rooms but at the darker end, especially a reddish-brown shade, it can look elegant and dramatic for a family room. Its warmth, the ability to make a room feel cocooning, and its appearance under artificial light makes it the optimum choice for this family space.

10. Be drawn to quiet sophistication with a heritage pink

Pink is the new decorating neutral – it has a natural ability to deliver warmth and interest without overwhelming a space. But choosing the right shade can be a thorny task when you’re faced with everything from soft rose pinks to peachy tones. The key is to pick a serene hue from your family room paint ideas. Muted pink walls are a perfect backdrop for a rich palette – introduce crisp whites for breathing space.

How do I choose a color scheme for a family room?

Getting the color right in a family room can be a tricky business. Even with all their experience, it can take time for professionals to make a decision. There is a lot to consider – the size and shape of the space, the available natural light and its direction, who it is for, etc. ‘A large space can often handle a blanket of color that works with both north- and south-facing light,’ says Tom Morris of Morrisstudio. ‘If wall colors are strong, I tone down the colors in the furnishings, or vice versa.

Decorators will often say they don’t follow rules when it comes to paint ideas but something that is helpful to bear in mind is that colors never need to match, they just need to work together.

Throwing something unexpected into an interior helps it to look considered and confident, adds Nicole Salvesen, co-founder of Salvesen Graham. ‘Choose colors that come from the same tonal family or have the same depth of color, even if they are different ends of the spectrum, this will help them work together. Also choose bolder colors such as rich greens and yellows and raspberry reds as they can be easier to work with, rather than paler candy colors that can sometimes come across as insipid if they aren’t quite right.'

Preparation for painting

Painting walls always requires preparation. First you need to make their surface even and eliminate all defects. It is not necessary to remove the old paint. But if the previous coating prevents the smooth application of the new color, then it is better to remove it.

Walls must be painted with high quality paint . It should be environmentally friendly, hypoallergenic, resistant to external influences and with a long service life. These points must be clarified when choosing a coloring material in a store. Therefore, it is not recommended to save on paint if you want to get a good result. At home, you need to carefully study the instructions for the purchased product.

If the procedure is carried out without the help of specialists, then during the painting process you need to pay attention to the humidity and temperature conditions in the room. The final color depends on these indicators. It will also be useful to learn different techniques for applying the coloring material.

Advantages of wall decoration with paint

Wall decoration with paint has the following advantages:

How to choose a color

To successfully choose the color of wall paint, you need to follow these guidelines:

  1. First determine the texture of the surface to be painted. On a rough shade it will look visually darker, and on a smooth one it will look lighter.
  2. Consideration should be given to the purpose of the room, as the optimal shade of the walls for a bedroom, kitchen or nursery will vary.
  3. Define room size. In large rooms, you should not make cold shades, otherwise the room will look uncomfortable.
  4. Next, you need to imagine the image of the desired interior of the room and the new color of its walls. Understand what shade you would like to see in the room.
  5. In the store, it is better to consider not all the colors available to the seller, but only the one that was selected in the previous paragraph. It can be either one or several similar options. It is not recommended to radically change your decision about the color of the paint in the store, because this way you can get a completely different result than you wanted.
  6. Wall paint color selection is best done offline as they often look distorted on screen. In real life, after applying to the wall, they can look completely different.

    7. In case of difficulty, you can take an example of the color of wall paint in the form of a card, fan or satin, and attach samples to the surface to be painted at home. This will help you quickly narrow down your search and understand which shades should be considered further, and which ones are not suitable for the interior of this room.

  7. When choosing the color of the coloring material, you need to take into account the wishes of all family members in order to avoid quarrels and discomfort in the future.

    8. The selected shade should be to the liking of the owner and all his household members.

  8. Don't be tempted to buy bright colors. They look very nice, but a large wall of an aggressive shade over time can begin to cause discomfort to residents.
  9. Having chosen a shade of paint for the walls, you need to present it along with the color of curtains, furniture and lighting at different times of the day.
  10. If you cannot decide on one or two shades, you can do a test painting of small areas of the wall.
  11. It is worth remembering that the final color of the paint is visible after about a few days after drying.

If the shade ends up being unsuccessful, there is no need to panic. You can dilute or supplement it with accessories or images. Or adjust the color accents in the interior of the renovated premises.

How lighting affects wall color

To choose the right color for wall paint, you need to determine the type of lighting in the room and imagine how the shade will look in the morning, afternoon and evening light.

It is important to remember that the lighting is cold in the morning. It makes colors brighter and more saturated. During the day, the color tones appear lighter. And by the evening they acquire a neutral shade.

You also need to consider how the selected color will look under artificial lighting. To do this, you need to determine whether warm or cold light comes from a chandelier or sconce. Most often, under the light from the device, the decoration of the room looks colder.

But with good lighting, you can choose bright and saturated shades.

It is also recommended to take into account the position of the windows in the room. If the window opening is on the south side, then light yellow tones will be added to the interior. When windows in a room face north, blue hues appear in it. If they are located in the west, then the room will acquire an orange tint. And with windows in the east, a green undertone will appear in the interior.

Wall decoration in the bedroom

Walls are one of the main elements of the room. Therefore, when choosing their color for the bedroom, you need to consider the overall style of the room. You also need to take into account the gender, age and wishes of the resident.

The most successful wall colors in the room for sleeping and relaxing:

BEIGE

Creates a calm and peaceful atmosphere in the bedroom;

MUTE YELLOW

Make the room warmer and more comfortable;

WHITE

The color visually expands the room and fits into any interior style. It makes the room brighter and more comfortable;

LIGHT BLUE

Promotes quality rest and good relaxation;

GREEN

Calms the nervous system, gives vision a rest after a long load. This color is ideal for people who have a stressful job;

BLACK IN SKILLED COMBINATION WITH OTHER COLORS

This is a great option for lovers of the Gothic style. But it is not recommended for people prone to depressive disorders;

GRAY

Emphasizes the nobility, refinement and delicate taste of the bedroom owner.

The color of the walls should always match the floor, ceiling and furniture. People of a calm temperament can choose a bright paint. This will contribute to a subconscious increase in tone. And for more active individuals, it is better to make a calm color of the walls. This will prevent overexertion and give you the opportunity to relax and rejuvenate in the bedroom.

Fans of bold and creative solutions can make 3 walls of one color and paint the 4th in another. But these shades should be combined with each other.

In any case, the color of the walls and the general decoration of the room should be in harmony with the internal state of the owner.

Choosing the color of the walls in the child's room

When choosing the color of the walls, you need to focus on gender, age and, if possible, on the desires of the child himself. It is equally important to take into account his character and temperament.

Pastel colors are best for a newborn boy or girl. Bright colors are not recommended as it will make it difficult for the child to fall asleep. Too aggressive tones will overexcite the nervous system of the baby.

It is better for an active child to make warm shades in the bedroom. Lilac, beige, pink, turquoise are ideal. This will help prevent overexcitation in the child. And for calm children, on the contrary, it is better to choose a more saturated color scheme. So it will be easier for them to maintain vitality and prevent the appearance of a melancholic state.

Preschool children can choose bright colors. Most often it is pink, blue, green, orange. You can paint the walls in your child's favorite color if he is not inclined to change his preferences in this regard often. If you can’t make a choice for a long time, you should stop it on light shades of yellow. They are associated with the sun and always cheer up. Therefore, the child will like this color scheme very much.

And those who are already in school should prefer cold shades. They improve student concentration.

Shades can be combined if desired. But they should not be more than 2-3, otherwise the interior will be overloaded. You can decorate the walls with patterns and images or landscapes that are pleasant and memorable for the child.

How to choose the color of the walls for the kitchen

A pleasant and comfortable atmosphere is very important in the dining area. It will help create certain colors.

Optimum shades and combinations for the kitchen or dining room:

GREEN

Decorating the kitchen, you can make two walls of the same color, and paint the rest in a different shade that harmonizes with them.

How to choose the color of the walls for the living room

For a room designed for family leisure, wall decoration in warm colors is ideal. Cold ones are not recommended, because they will subconsciously escalate the atmosphere of tension and alienation of family members from each other.

White color and other light shades can be diluted with bright accessories.

Influence of interior colors on the inner state of a person
