Here at Tapi, we understand that choosing between different living room colour ideas can be a daunting task, especially for the main room in your house where all your guests will sit! That's why we've created this guide to help you pick the perfect living room colour scheme, whether you're looking for popular colour schemes for your lounge, or a unique colour combination for your living, we've got you covered.
In this guide, we'll provide you with expert advice on how to find inspiration for colour schemes, colour combinations for smaller living rooms, and how to select colours for your living room that match other areas of your home. So, whether you're renovating your living room or simply want to refresh the look of your space, let us help you create a beautiful and cohesive living room that reflects your style and taste.
If you're not sure where to start when it comes to choosing a colour scheme for your living room, there are plenty of resources out there to help you find inspiration. Pinterest is a great place to find inspiration for living room colour schemes. Try searching for "living room colour ideas" or "colour schemes for lounge" and browse through the results for ideas that catch your eye.
Home decor magazines like Elle Decor, House Beautiful, and Architectural Digest are full of living room colour ideas and inspiration. Browse through the pages and tear out any ideas that you love. We have a variety of different lookbooks right here in the Ideas Hub that you can use to get your creativity flowing, from pink pastels to moody greys.
Another great resource for finding living room colour ideas is to look at paint company websites. Many companies have virtual paint tools that allow you to see how different colours will look in your living room. You can even upload a photo of your living room and try out different colours virtually – our Flooring Ideas page has loads of pictures of Tapi customers’ homes that show how they’ve styled different areas of their homes, another great place to find inspiration for your living room colour scheme!
Don't forget to consider the type of flooring you have in your living room when choosing a colour scheme. The colour, texture, and style of your flooring can have a significant impact on the overall look and feel of your living room, so it's important to consider it when selecting a colour scheme.
If you have wooden floors like laminate or engineered wood flooring, you may want to choose a colour scheme that complements the natural tones and textures of the wood. Warm colours like browns, oranges, and reds can bring out the warmth in the wood and create a cosy and inviting atmosphere. Alternatively, you could choose a cooler colour scheme with blues or greens to create a more modern and sophisticated look.
For living rooms with carpet, the colour and texture of the carpet can also be a great starting point for a living room colour scheme. If you have a neutral or plain-coloured carpet, you might consider a bolder and brighter colour scheme to add some visual interest to the room. Alternatively, if you’ve got a patterned or colourful carpet, you may want to choose a more subdued colour scheme to avoid clashing with the carpet
In addition to the colour of your flooring, the texture and style of your flooring can also play a role in selecting a living room colour scheme. For example, if you have a shaggy or textured carpet, you may want to choose a smooth and solid-coloured upholstery to create a contrast. If you’re even considering changing up the flooring in your living room, why not check out our best flooring for living rooms guide to help you pick the perfect new flooring to complement your style?
