A fresh coat of paint is one of the best ways to update a living room for the fall. Naturally, we’re referring to the walls, but the ceiling and other elements deserve attention as well. Complete Paint & Supplies experts encourage customers to think outside the box; the results consistently exceed everyone’s expectations.
Paint Colors for Living Room Walls
Think of your living room walls as a blank canvas for your design vision. The right paint color will set the tone for a cozy atmosphere, a sophisticated, airy feel, or anything in between.
- Soft neutrals create a versatile base that goes with most decor styles. These colors work well in natural and artificial light, making your living room feel spacious and bright.
- Light and soft blue tones add a calming feel to living spaces. They play nicely with white trims, dark green, yellow, pink, and cream.
- Earth tones like brown and green bring a grounded vibe to living rooms. We like them with wooden furniture, leather sofas, and natural accents like plants.
Creative Paint Design for Living Room Ceilings
When you change your living room ceiling from basic white, you’ll look up at it more often and appreciate it more. Try a splash of color or a pattern that complements your walls.
- Painting a pale yellow or soft gray ceiling adds depth without overpowering the room.
- For a more dramatic effect, try a two-tone ceiling, with the perimeter painted in one shade and the center in another, slightly contrasting color. That can make your ceiling appear higher.
- Show your personality with subtle patterns like stripes or a stenciled design on the ceiling.
Paint Ideas for Living Room Accents and Elements
We encourage clients to paint living room trim, built-ins, and furniture; contrasting colors highlight these elements. You can also refresh your fireplace surround with the Williamsburg® Paint Color Collection. We like dark, sophisticated colors like navy and charcoal; they can turn your fireplace into an appealing focal point.
Built-ins are also ideal candidates for a pop of color. To make them stand out, paint the back panels of shelves in a contrasting color. You can also consider painting other pieces of furniture, like wood chairs and desks. Railings and window frames are two more candidates for fall painting projects.
