Choosing a paint colour can sometimes turn out to be demanding and complicated. Whatever the brand, there are thousands of shades from which you can choose. Because of this, it is easy to get lost during this process.

Your living room is a space that represents life, movement and gatherings, but also relaxation, comfort and rest. This is why wanting to find the perfect paint colour that reflects all these aspects is perfectly normal. Here are some examples that will help you make the right choice.

For people looking for warmer tones, the range of choices in the orange tints could be a perfect solution for you. Just like terracotta, rust is a vibrant colour with earthy tones and an excellent shade for your living room layout.

 

6. Purple or cashmere grey

These variants of purple and grey are softer and more neutral compared to their originals. Similar to taupe, these choices are perfect for a calm and serene atmosphere. You'll be able to pair them with other neutral tones to add depth to the room.

7. Dark yellow

When thinking of yellow, we rarely associate this shade with the perfect wall colour. However, a darker shade of yellow, like mustard, brings an original and bold accent to the room.

In many examples, this colour is used to define different shapes painted on walls like circles and squares.

8. Hazel

For avid lovers of fall, hazel brown is a classic colour that ages well. Warm and welcoming, it will be perfect for those nights between friends while enjoying a warm drink.

 

9. Oat/sandy beige

Just like hazel, sand and oat are shades that age well. Slowly growing in the interior decor trends, shades of beige go perfectly with modern or vintage accessories.

 

10. Dark grey and black
