There is a wide variety of living room colour schemes to suit all aesthetic tastes and interior design styles.
But as we move further into 2024, there are a number of popular living room colours that are becoming more and more trendy.
In this blog, we’ll introduce you to the latest living room trends and colour schemes to help inspire you in the creation of your very own living room oasis.
Earthy Tones
Earthy-toned neutrals have been a popular living room colour trend for some time now and the momentum is not slowing down.
What makes this subtle colour scheme so effective is the inherent tranquil nature of earthy colours. From muted greens to soft greys, there’s still a ton of choice and customisability.
However, very few living room colour schemes can infuse as strong a sense of softness and warmth to a living room.
Earthy tones are a great option for fabric furniture, wall art or even carpeting. Plus, you can always pair the tones with soft blues, whites, and even earthy reds.
Blue and White
It’s true that some colour schemes never truly go out of style, but blues and whites is one classic aesthetic that has become a hot trending living room colour choice.
Timeless, beautiful and subtle, the combination of blue and white achieves a unique balance of colour and elegance.
Of course, you can choose the shade of blue that best suits the rest of your home and your own taste: Opt for something brighter to lighten the space or something slighter darker to set the right ambiance and mood.
Plus, blues and whites can easily be used across a range of interior design styles, from traditional to contemporary. Whether it’s a navy sofa to a crisp white coffee table, there’s a ton of variety to make this very trendy living room aesthetic your own.
Chocolate Browns and Velvety Blacks
Where the living room trend above was all about being bright and airy, this popular aesthetic brings an intentional moody aesthetic to the space.
Rich, dark browns and black can work wonders in achieving a comfortable darkness in a living room. Of course, there’s no need to go wall-to-wall bold. Strategically employed chocolate brown furniture or black accents can help to create visually stunning spaces that are highly inviting for you, your family and guests.
If you love the thought of a brown, black or even navy spot of colour, but are worried about making the room too dark, pair these colour schemes with some soft greys, gold or even brass. Not only will this make the darker colours pop but it will help to balance the space without sacrificing the intended aesthetic.
Terracotta and Reds
There is something luxurious and yet down-to-earth about a deftly chosen terracotta colour scheme in a living room. Even more striking reds are trending in the world of living room colours at the moment as more and more homeowners are looking at ways to subtly yet unmistakably bring their living rooms to life.
Terracotta and red colour schemes can be used for textured fabrics on furniture, to bring an accent chair to life or as part of a feature wall or wall art. How deep down this aesthetic’s rabbit hole you go is really down to you and your preference.
If you want to soften the impact, try pairing it with a deep, mustard yellow, beige or even gold.
Warm Metallics
Warm metallic finishes–such as brass, copper and gold–is another living room colour scheme that has been and remains in style.
Using metallic accents in your living room adds a touch of luxury and elegance to the space without risking the visual impact being over the top or too much.
Warm metallics are particularly effective when paired with some bold colours, such as the chocolate browns and velvety blacks outlined above, where the juxtaposition in the access and the rest of the decor is more readily apparent.
Golden Tones
While not everyone wants the glitz and glamour of a gold colour scheme in their living room, it is certainly an effective way of adding more than a pinch of opulence and luxury to the space.
Gold is a very visually arresting colour and brings with it strong connotations, so balancing your use of gold with whites and creams is essential. Nevertheless, some gold furniture, accents, or even just a coffee table can be a truly majestic addition to your home and continues to be a trending living room scheme just for that reason alone.
Natural Greens
In styles gone by, darker shades of green were not uncommon in living rooms. More recently, however, while green remains a popular colour choice, the trend has shifted more towards nature-inspired shades.
Like the earthy tone trend, greens in a living room brings with it a sense of tranquility and harmony which is more than conducive to the relaxed, comfortable atmosphere you’ll want your living room to create.
