Living room furnishings are an important aspect of the decor. The rooms are used for many reasons and it is important to have the right color scheme. You can do a lot with a simple pattern on the walls. It might be too much if you have very modern tastes but it can still look fantastic. Matching colors is important because it brings out the style of the house and also gives the feeling of the area being bigger than it actually is.

Most of us know that it is good to use neutral colors for rooms. Neutral tones have a very relaxing effect and this is what most people like in their rooms. If the furniture is done in dark tones then this can make the room look smaller. In this case, matching a light color with dark tones can make the space seem bigger. A dark and light flooring can also create an illusion of more space in a small room and this will give it a more spacious feel.

People have a tendency to overdo the use of patterns when it comes to their living rooms. Too much color, too many patterns and not enough details can make your living room resembles a hospital ward. However, when the furniture is done carefully and in such a way as to create a warm ambience this will not be visible. Instead you will have created the perfect balance between the colors.

If you want the colors of the room to stand out you can go in for bold colors and bold patterns. This is what makes living rooms very special. If the furniture match is off then you will have an understated decoration and if it is perfect then it will stand out among the rest. You cannot achieve this balance with too many neutral tones of the same color.

You should have at least three colors for each piece of furniture. While matching two neutral colors may work perfectly fine, matching three colors is a great idea. However, if you do not wish to change the furniture entirely you can use these three colors to simply add a touch of uniqueness. The next step is to choose a coordinating paint for the walls of your living room. This is again where a little bit of creativity is needed because if you do not find a good matching color it is advisable to paint the wall first before you buy the other pieces of furniture.

You need to buy some accessories that will complement the colors in the living room. For instance, if you are using red velvet then do not just go in for a sofa and some chairs. Try and mix in a few accent chairs or even get a few couches and a love seat to sit on. It is important that the furniture to match the color palette of the wall and the accessories because they will not match well. This will give an unkempt look to your living room.

When it comes to the couches and chairs, then you should try and purchase a few that come in similar shades of colors. Matching the couch to the walls, or vice versa is not necessary. Another tip that you could use is to purchase several cushions that have similar prints and patterns. This way the furniture does not stick out like a sore thumb. If you have red velvet upholstered furniture then adding red cushions will help it match perfectly.

When it comes to painting the walls of the room, the best thing would be to use a warm color, preferably something that will compliment the colors in the room. Pastel and light colors are always a good choice. As far as the flooring goes, you could consider getting tiles as they will not stand out and match any other colors.
