The home you live in is an expression of your family’s personality, interests, and lifestyle. It is a representation of who you are. What starts as a concrete construction takes on a unique feel depending on the family that resides in it. And, knowingly or unknowingly, you make changes that contribute to the “vibe” of the place.
If you are moving into a new home, you are surely looking for the right color scheme or combination. We advise you to start with the living room and work your way from there because the living room is the first impression and possibly the place where you’ll spend most of your time in
Best color combination for living room – Top 15 picks
Colour schemes are often underrated but they make a world of difference. You can either start with the walls and then choose furniture accordingly or flip the deal based on your choices. Make sure you go through all our recommendations to get a fair idea of the direction to take.
1. Green and cream
Choose light green hues for furnishing and paint the walls cream for a soft, comfortable setting.
· Bottle green curtains
· Forest green patterned upholstery
· Green paintings
· Dark brown coffee table

Yellow is vibrant, lively, and stimulating. Yellow and soft colours are one of the most popular modern colour combinations for the living room.
· Yellow walls

· Floral pattern curtains (With shades of white, green, and brown)
· Black and white cushions

P.S. This may not be a great living room colour scheme if you have little kids and/or pets.
