8 colorful small living room ideas that will brighten, not overwhelm your space

Colorful small living room ideas like this are the goal, with its blue couch and multi-hued throw pillows, art work and bright decorative touches.

Colorful small living room ideas can lift an entire home. Get it right, and make this cozy spot feel more welcoming and energized, without guests wanting to run a mile to your closest neutral-colored space.

But we like our home decor to have an "I woke up like this" feel. And, anything overcomplicated is rarely a good look, especially in a small space where it can be easy to overwhelm your surroundings.
