The living room is probably the room in the house most subject to changes in decor. The concept of classic wall paint is always oriented towards a light color. However, opting for other colors can create a new atmosphere in your living room. Which one is it? So, without further ado, let's dive into this blog and learn more about this subject. Selection criteria The living room is the place to entertain our guests and spend pleasant moments of relaxation with family or friends. The wall painting is, therefore, necessary because its appearance and presentation will determine the owners' personality. The goal is to give this room a fresh and trendy look; the choice of color is essential to harmonize the decor. A few criteria must be taken into account to obtain an outstanding result. Of course, personal taste will always be a consideration. 1. Orientation and volume of the living room Exposure to the living room is one of the important criteria in choosing the right wall color for your living room. The color must be in harmony with the sun's reflections to dazzle the living room. If the living room is exposed to the north, the right choice is to adopt a warm color like pink combined with gray. In the opposite case, that is to say, in the south, the best is to soften the room by opting for yellow or golden honey. For a large living room, the adoption of two shades superimposed will be perfect. On the other hand, for a small space, a homogeneous color will be appropriate to avoid a cluttered effect in the room. 2. The atmosphere of the living room Knowing that the living room is a place of relaxation, the choice of wall color will depend on the atmosphere sought by residents. For comfort, blue is perfect; ochre is the ideal solution for calmness and warmth. 3. Decorating Style Interior design techniques also influence the choice of wall color in the living room. By this fact, the goal is to obtain a living room that will reflect your personality. It is therefore important that the decorations and the wall paint match. The style of decoration includes the choice of furniture, wall decorations such as pictures or frames, curtains, and chandeliers. The choice of furniture, its components, and materials should be made according to your expectations. Indeed, it is necessary to measure their colors well to avoid an unpleasant appearance. Naturally, the wall paint will be adapted to blend into the room. The trendy color: lavender White is undoubtedly the color that will never go out of style. However, with the exponential evolution of the decorating world, more accent colors are making themselves felt. Lavender, a color that is still not well known, lends itself in a surprising way to the living room. Indeed, it comes in several shades ranging from pale blue-gray to mauve. Boldness is, therefore, in the spotlight. Contrary to what one might think, adopting this color brings a touch of femininity and warmth to the room. Its strengths lie in the fact that it embodies many perceptions, namely: • Brightness • Freshness • The royal luxury • The calm and the conviviality • The mystery is associated with romance. This color also gives the illusion of a larger space in the living room. In terms of decoration, there are a few choices for a sophisticated look, although in reality, only white works well with the color lavender. For the sofa Laying out sofas in a darker lavender hue will highlight the living room. The wall paint will then be a little lighter. For the furniture You can opt for furniture combining two colors, including white and brown imitating wood. These can be shelves, large night lights, or some flower pots. For the curtains White is always in the spotlight, with a light touch of the color of the walls so as not to clutter the room. To avoid the effect of a room being too homogeneous, you can combine powder pink or transparent white with the color of curtains, objects, or even furniture.
