20 Living Room Color Ideas That Feel Livable and Luxurious

Living room with mustard walls decorated with a collection of prints and paintings, a large dark blue sectional sofa with patterned pillows scattered around it, and a striped ottoman at the centre.

The living room is the heart of the home, and often where we spend most of our time, so when it comes to decorating, it deserves ample attention. While color is always important to get right, choosing the right shade for your lounge is one of the biggest design decisions you can make.

When deciding on a living room color idea, it's important to consider that it's a hardworking space that wears many hats, so it needs to be pleasing on the eye but also functional and work alongside your other pieces. Of course, you'll want to take inspiration from trending styles, but considering how you spend your time in the room (be it relaxing and watching TV or socializing and entertaining with friends) will also ensure your palette works for you for decades to come.
