How to Add a Little More Color to Your Living Room

Your living room is one of the most important spaces in your home. It’s where you relax, entertain guests, and spend quality time with your family. Adding a little more color to your living room can make it more inviting, lively, and comfortable. 

Use an Area Rug

One of the easiest ways to add color to your living room is by using an area rug. A colorful rug can add a pop of color to a neutral living room, or it can complement the existing colors in your space. Look for an area rug that has bright and bold colors or patterns that will make a statement. A colorful rug not only adds color but also adds texture and warmth to your living room.

Be sure to choose a rug with the right size and shape that will fit in your room. You can also layer two or more rugs together for extra color and texture. Experiment with different textures, such as wool, silk, jute, and sisal to find the perfect look for your space.  

An area rug can also help define separate areas in an open-plan living room. If you have a seating area, dining area, and workspace in one space, use a different colored rug for each area to clearly differentiate it from the other parts of your room. Layering rugs is also a great way to achieve this look.

Paint an Accent Wall

Painting an accent wall is another easy and inexpensive way to add color to your living room. Choose a bold and bright color that contrasts with the rest of the walls in your living room. Contrasting colors have become a common trend in homes recently. This will create a focal point in your living room and add depth to the space. Painting an accent wall is an easy DIY project that can be completed in a day or two.

Hang Art on the Wall

Adding colorful artwork to your living room walls is another easy way to add color and personality to the space. Choose artwork that features bold and bright colors or abstract patterns that complement the existing colors in your living room. Hang the artwork on a neutral-colored wall to make it stand out. You can also choose a piece of art as the inspiration for the color palette in your living room and use the colors from the artwork throughout the room.

Adding a little more color to your living room can make a big difference in the overall look and feel of your space. Use an area rug, paint an accent wall, or hang art on the wall to add color and personality to your living room. These simple and easy ideas can be completed in a weekend and can transform your living room into a more inviting and lively space.
