This beautiful apartment for sale in Sweden (via Alvhem) has an open-plan living kitchen that connects to the light-flooded living room. The color selected for the living room walls has a dark sage green tone, bringing out the warmth from the exposed brick wall in the kitchen and dining area.
The dining area connects the kitchen with the living room and the wall towards the kitchen has been opened to create a spacious open floorplan. The simple white kitchen has partly exposed brick wall elements, which add a unique element to the space.
The bedroom has a grey limewash accent wall, that stands out from the living room. The rest of the bedroom, including the wardrobe, is painted white, for a lovely contrast in the space.
A living room with dark sage green walls
The sage green living room walls bring out the white crown molding underneath the ceiling and the light hardwood flooring. The living room decor has a mixture of grey and brown tones for a warm look that contrasts nicely with the cool undertones in the wall color.
The wall in between the kitchen and living room is partly removed, creating a doorway with exposed brick on either side. The dining table stands underneath this opening and connects both areas.
Next to the kitchen doorway, there is a small space for a TV on the wall, which is perfectly located opposite the sofa.

If you’re thinking about introducing a beige sofa in your living room, have a look at the comprehensive list below. The list includes the most inspiring design ideas for your living room centered around beige sofas and calming atmospheres.
A Monochromatic Beige Living Room
Possibly the most popular and simple way to style a beige sofa is by surrounding it with other shades of beige to create a cozy living room design.
This beige living room is full of neutral color and natural light, working together to create a space that exudes peace and calm. Not only is this the perfect place to unwind, but the matching framed art prevents the room from feeling flat.
For a similar feel but with a more minimalist touch, pair a beige couch that has a more modern design with a homogeneous color palette that also features touches of black or dark brown.
The sofa has a natural ability to blend into the background, which creates the perfect opportunity to highlight other pieces of furniture. This living room showcases a unique coffee table on an off-white area rug as the main focal point.
A Beige Sofa in a White Living Room With Dark Wood Accents
White walls create a blank canvas when it comes to the overall interior design of a living room. The bright white allows a room to feel bigger, but it also works to provide a level of contrast.
In this living room, the combination of the walls and the dark flooring allows for a broad spectrum of shades to be used. The beige sofa works to bring everything together, creating a bridge between the dark woods and bright whites.
Mix a Beige Couch With Different Textures and Pops of Color
For those looking to create a relaxing living room that is a welcoming space to everyone, pair your cozy light beige sofa with warm shades of neutral colors, textured accents, and pops of brighter colors.
This living room features a lot of earthy touches while having a fun splash of cool blue. The blue itself is not overwhelming and in a tone that matches the overall feel of the living room.
Achieve Complete Individuality With a Beige Couch That Makes a Statement
If you’re looking for a fresh take on the standard beige living room design, try a Togo sofa with a bold design. This adds a layer of personality and visual interest to the space. Combine this with a white patterned area rug and you have a design that’s all your own.
In this living room specifically, the plush couch resting on the floor establishes a casual air in an otherwise formal space.
A Dark Beige Living Room With Bold Statement Pieces
Darker shades of beige are becoming more popular in contemporary living room design. This living room flaunts a wide range of natural tones as well as a couple of statement pieces to add visual interest.
The thin black metal of the coffee table also works well to create contrast with the plush beige rug. The couch itself features pillows and is positioned in a way that feels inviting, an important element when properly styling a beige living room.
If you’re looking to blend vintage elements in your home with more modern pieces, a cream-colored sofa may be the answer.
This gentle tone of beige paired with slightly bolder beige pillows, creates a one-of-a-kind environment when paired with the pops of red on the sconces and the dark wooden coffee table. Everything in this room comes together to provide a neutral space for residents and guests alike to enjoy.
Pair Medium Beige Living Room Furniture With a Variety of Textures
For those who find earthy shades and natural wood a must in their home, a medium beige palette is a no-brainer. The darker beige paint color on the walls and patterned throw pillows work with the touches of greenery and other textured elements to create a cohesive look.
Furthermore, the natural materials throughout and the bold area rug draw you in and make you feel at home. Positioning the couch in front of two large windows helps to bring light into the room.
Combine a Light Beige Couch With Whites, Light Wood, and Greenery
You don’t have to be an interior designer to have a bright living room that blends neutral tones and plant life. Simply pair an off-white couch with a spacious living room layout and light wood accents to achieve the desired effect.
Decorate with art pieces, area rugs, pillows, plants, and more for a welcoming air. The addition of adequate light and other subtle beige elements serve to draw you into the space. You can even elevate the space further with intricate crown molding or gold accents.
A Fully Modern Living Room With Soft Lines and Textures
Embrace a modern beige living room with beige walls, textured art, a bold coffee table, and a unique sofa. This space combines a few different living room ideas by taking furniture and neutral tones that have certain elements and qualities in common and putting them together for a distinctive room.
The framed artwork on the walls creates interest in a way that isn’t distracting and doesn’t subtract from the overall calm of the room.
A Contemporary Living Room With Sharp, Clean Lines
In contrast to the previous living room, this room creates a focal point around the sofa through the use of sharp, clean lines.
The pale shade of beige in the single pillow on the couch contrasts well with the darker tones on the floor and coffee table while the choice of white instead of beige walls allows for a brighter living room. This also helps the angled walls seem less imposing, allowing for a more relaxed living room.
So far, many living room ideas have focused on the elements at eye level or that are directly interacted with by those in the home. However, changes to the crown molding of living rooms can go a long way in elevating a neutral beige design.
A soft beige couch paired with off-white tones and plant life can easily appear flat and uninspired without other elements to balance it out. One solution to this is to replace your original crown molding with molding that has intricate designs or a splash of a complementary color such as a neutral cream or beige shade.
Mix White and Shades of Beige With Dark Wood Flooring
For an elegant, comfortable beige living room, offset your dark flooring through the use of beige and white walls, a beige couch, and umber accents such as pillows and miscellaneous decor. In this living room, the beige of the walls, ceiling light, and couch are nearly the same shade.
However, the pillows and throws on the couch allow it to stand out from the background just enough to be inviting. The glass-topped coffee table further adds an air of elegance and sophistication.
Combine Dark Tones and Statement Pieces With a Mix of Textures
In our final beige couch living room, a dark palette and bold statement pieces are blended with several different textures to create a room that keeps the eye moving without overloading it. This works by combining contrasting textures such as a sheepskin throw, jute rug, and stone table all in tones of white or beige to keep things interesting to look at.
Though this particular room doesn’t feature pillows, the addition of beige-toned pillows may be a welcome addition to some.
Complete your Beige Living Room with a Beige sofa and Gallery wall
To achieve a tonal effect, complete your beige living room walls with a beige couch and a gallery wall with predominately beige tones for a tranquil effect.
Brighten up this warm and glowy beige look with white textiles like curtains, pillowcases, and a textured area rug.
Use a Beige Couch to Complement more Prominent Room Features
This beautiful living room features an impressive exposed brick wall and a massive window that lets in an abundance of natural light. The beige couch blends in with the color of the bricks and doesn’t take away any attention from this amazing feature, but rather complements it nicely.
The color green has many calming attributes and provides an element of harmony and balance in home design. It represents new beginnings and growth and pairs beautifully with both traditional living room and modern living room designs as well as other bold hues.
For all these reasons, the green family has become an increasingly popular living room color scheme in the arsenal of modern interior designers. Especially sage green living rooms have gained popularity over the last few years.
In case you are thinking about painting your living room green as well, you can find the most inspiring green living rooms in the list below. These inspirations will help you kick-start your own green living room ideas so you can create the space of your dreams.
Sage Green Living Room Walls With Cozy Neutral Tones
If you have a small space, a traditional living room that’s fully separated from the rest of the communal areas may not be an option. However, you can use a combination of stylish living room furniture, natural light, and green paint to create a living space that serves both form and function.
In this green living room, in particular, the paint color is light enough to reflect light but dark enough to be bold and eye-catching. This paired with the soft, cozy neutral colors and textures creates an inviting space for any occasion.
If you’re looking for something a bit more bold, try pairing a dark shade of sage with dark wood floors and darker accent colors.
The decor in this green living room is a blend of modern and vintage furniture styles, with a color scheme that blends both complementary and contrasting colors through the use of creams and dark tones. This helps to bring attention to the uniqueness of the white historic fireplace in this small living room.
Gentle Worn Green With Light Floors and Dark Furniture
A green living room doesn’t have to be centered around a bold shade or green accent wall. If you prefer subtle green living room ideas, this calm and relaxing take on the theme may be the answer.
The whole room is centered around muted, worn shades and natural materials to provide a more even hue that’s the perfect backdrop to a quiet evening. Those who use their living space to entertain frequently will also find that their guests enjoy the pleasant atmosphere this subtle green living room creates.
Bold, Verdant Green Walls With Cream and Beige Tones
One of the easiest ways to create visual interest in small spaces is through the use of bold colors and simple home decor. The dramatic nature of the verdant walls in this green living room design sets the tone for the entire space. To prevent this type of dark green hue from feeling overwhelming, the rest of the living room should be some shade of white, cream, or beige.
This design takes a standard neutral living room and elevates it for an elegant look. The floor-length window treatments also help to break up the green in a natural way.
Green living room designs can also center around a blend of neutral shades and darker wood accents while the walls lean more into the gray end of the spectrum.
This combination of light-colored furniture and flooring with the darker tones throughout the living room allows the walls and plant life to act more like green accents than as the dominant color. Furthermore, by adding more than one accent chair and different colored throw pillows, you create a sense of welcome and home for guests.
Dark Green Walls With Shades of White and Pops of Blue
For those who appreciate bright colors more than subtle tones, a dark green living room is likely more appealing. This bold green paint works well with both classic and modern living room styles. It pairs well with the bright white of the couch while the pops of blue throughout introduces an element of personality and character to the living room.
An intense green living room typically doesn’t appeal to the tastes of everyone, but when done correctly and with an interesting throw pillow or two, you can design a space that everyone will love.
If you have a living room that you’re finding to be a little flat, you can change the feeling completely by painting the walls one shade of a fresh color. In living rooms that center around shades of white and light brown, a bright yet muted lime green contrasts beautifully.

Olive Green Walls With Shades of Off-White and Light Brown

This is also a great reminder that you don’t have to limit your preferred shade of green to just one wall. You can carry your green beyond a feature wall in the living room and allow it to lead you down a hallway or into another room.
Soft, Light Green With Bright White and Plant Life
For a fresh, airy, and clean look, try experimenting with a light, muted green living room. This shade has just a hint of a pastel green undertone that plays well with the bright whites and tans as well as the plants peppered throughout the living room.

For those looking to combine multiple statement pieces, this living room design is for you. The olive green walls of this living room with green pieces, such as the velvet couch and plants, make the other furniture stand out even more due to the high contrast of the bright white tones. This living room is a fantastic example of how you can create a modern space with minimal effort.
Dark Green-Blue Wall Color With Dark Hues and a Statement Sofa
So far, we’ve focused on rooms featuring mainly one type of green. However, a green living room can showcase multiple shades of green alongside other jewel tones. Green walls that fall more under the teal end of the spectrum provide you with a wealth of opportunities for creativity.
In this living room specifically, the lime green of the couch combined with the blue of the coffee table showcases the undertones of the walls while the dark browns and bronze accents pull everything together.
By using different shades of green paint for the walls and trim, you can design a space that exudes a level of fun and levity. A pairing of light green and pale green provides just enough contrast to be noticeable without being distracting. Combine these shades with soft linen elements and a palette featuring other pastel tones for a cohesive look.
