Paint Your Walls In A Vibrant Colour
A fresh coat of paint is one of the easiest ways to brighten up a room. It will not only make your living room look new and clean, but will also protect your walls and increase the value of your house.
Color can also be used to create a mood in an area and enhance your experience. It’s vital that you pick something you like and can live with for a long time when making a change. These tips will help you to make the best decision.
- Take swatches of the colour you want to match home and compare them.
- Decide what vibe you want to create. Warm colours will create a cosy, welcoming atmosphere in your living room. Cooler shades will bring a calm and serene feel to your space.
- Choose a neutral color to tie your eclectic furniture together.
- Consider painting an accent in a complementary color that will create a thread of commonality with your furniture.
- Choose lighter colours if your room is dark or small. If it’s light and airy, you can add sophistication with a darker shade.
Add Some Furniture In Bright Colours
You can liven up your neutral colour scheme by adding a few bold pieces of furniture. 2023 is the perfect year to make this happen.
Luxury Sofas are trending in this year’s fashion. Choose from rich colors like red, orange, purple, and green.
Sancal has created a beautiful little loop couch in a gorgeous lavender color that will transform your living room into an amazing modern masterpiece. If that’s a bit much, you can opt for something more traditional like the button-backed Brian by Eichholtz.
You can add accent pieces if you don’t want to go all out. For example, a set of Footstools in vibrant colours or a colourful Armchair.
Be warned if you decide to take this route. Quality sofas will last for many years. Following the latest trends may lead to problems if they are not what you want. Our designers recommend that if you are unsure, you choose a more sustainable colour such as greige or cream.
