Pink can be a challenging color in interior design, but this warm hue creates a pleasing color palette that also creates amazing interior design opportunities. If you’re thinking of changing the color of your entire living room, pink can be an eye-catching option. This subtle hue provides endless possibilities in a living area thanks to its versatility.

With so many options available, it’s easy to discover the perfect shade to give your living room a subtle warm glow. If you need some inspiration, have a look at the pink living room ideas in the list below that will give your home a fresh, new look and a warm, inviting ambiance.

Try Blush Pink to Create a New Take on Neutral

While blush pink is on the “girly” side, it also has some earthy tones that help to give it a more natural effect. Use color to give your pink living room a cheerful yet practical look that goes with just about anything. Mix pink with wood furniture to create a sophisticated look.

Note how the white sofa boasts a muted beige upholstery so it doesn’t take away from the beautiful pink walls. The wall art features some pops of pink and a bit of blue to tie everything together. A rattan light fixture adds to the overall warmth of the space.

Try Muted Pink Instead of White or Gray

This pink living room features a muted shade that doesn’t overpower the rest of the space. Thanks to its soft tone, it allows the other items in the room to stand out. The designer incorporated some touches of black in this space to give it a boost of modern style.

Because of the ultra-light shade of pink used here, the wall color makes it easier for the homeowner to decorate with a wide range of accessories and patterns. The gray sofa evokes a relaxed vibe, and the round wood table in a natural shade of brown grounds the space and creates a functional focal point.

Pair Peach Pink Living Room Walls with a Red and Brown Colour palette

This subtle and warm living room has a touch of peachy-pink on the walls, which pairs wonderfully with the white couch and the caramel brown area rug. Using earth tones in the textiles adds a grounding effect to the interior, which is otherwise very light and feminine.

Make Dusty Pink the Backdrop

The gorgeous dusky pink wall color here adds a subtle pop of color to the room while creating a blank canvas for other items in the room. Large decorative accessories on the wall and accent tables stand out in this space. The dark grey sofa really pops, and the metallic and frosted glass globe light fixtures lend this living area a contemporary aesthetic.

The design this homeowner chose proves how easy decorating with a variety of different accessories and styles is. Instead of sugary sweet, the pink tone here has more of an earthy terracotta hue to it.

Painting walls this color lets decor and other soft furnishings make a powerful statement, allowing the walls to become the backdrop.

Rose Pink Adds a Playful Pop

This lively rose-pink sitting room is a perfect place to sit back, relax, and unwind. A cushy daybed gives the room a calming vibe for a relaxing haven at the end of a long day. Note how other furniture pieces bring more functionality to the space like the black metal coat rack and the brown and black coffee table.

A trio of picture frames on the wall contains modern artwork for a touch of personality. The jute area rug brings a sense of serenity and perfect harmony. Meanwhile, the choice of pink in this room gives everything a lighthearted, playful feel that doesn’t take itself too seriously.

Try Powder Pink in a Modern Living Space

Pale pink isn’t just for little girls’ bedrooms. In this modern pink living room, the shade is perfectly paired with the furniture, art, and accents to help them stand out. A soft tan upholstered loveseat topped with cushy throw pillows and a soft throw blanket makes the space even more inviting.

The black side table and coffee table bring a dramatic effect to this living room. A large window adds loads of natural sunlight to give the room a bright, airy vibe. Note how the modern metal mushroom table lamp and bold wall art lend this living room a stylish finishing touch that’s perfect for contemporary living spaces.

Try Pink Wainscoting to Add Character

Instead of painting all four walls pink, this designer painted the living room wainscoting pink which adds a lively, two-toned look and a fresh, fun aesthetic. The ultra-modern mid-century inspired ceiling fixture and bits of blue become a dramatic focal point in this updated living area.

The bright blue accent chair really pops in this room, while a mixture of shapes of the smaller furniture pieces ties the modern theme together nicely. This design proves that not all pink living rooms have to be completely pink. Rather, choosing to pair pink with another color adds a fun and funky two-toned look.

Make it Monochrome

The warm tone on the walls of this pink living room gives it an inviting touch and pink furniture helps to create a uniform, cohesive feel. A mixture of textures also gives the room a comfy, cozy vibe, including the faux fur shag area rug and curvaceous swag light. The furniture isn’t the same shade of pink as the walls, but instead, it’s slightly brighter so it doesn’t get washed out or fade into the background.

A large tan-colored curtain makes it easy to cover the window whenever you need shade and privacy while adding a bit of definition between the sections of the wall. The oversized framed art is the only item on the walls, drawing the eye toward it.

Be Daring with a Brighter Shade

While the paint here isn’t exactly hot pink or fuchsia, it’s brighter and bolder than some other options on the color wheel. The designer used a rich color scheme that makes this open-concept house feel welcoming. White window trim, a white subway tile backsplash in the kitchen area, and distressed white wood floors help to break up the space.

If the walls of this room were all-white, tan, or gray, it wouldn’t look or feel nearly as inviting. Steer clear of using bland paint colors in smaller homes or open-concept living areas, since it can make everything feel clinical. Painting this room a lively, bold shade of pink and adding fun accent pieces beckons you to come inside.

Keep it Simple

While this living room appears to be fairly large, the designer chose to keep things simple and understated. The powdery pink walls add a warm glow to the room. Instead of creating a gallery wall, they chose to hang just a few select pieces above the sofa.

This design proves that pink is a good color to use with modern designs. The velvet club chair is a much deeper, darker color, yet it still pairs beautifully with the pink. Pops of white help to make the pink walls stand out.

via Stadshem

Go Glam with Lipstick Pink

This shade of pink has a glamorous aesthetic due to its deep, rich tone. Neutral furniture and black fixtures create a multidimensional room. A bold statement like sculptural vases, faux fur bench covers, and plants make this open-concept home an earthy delight.

Richer tones like this one are perfect if you love pink, but don’t want anything too bright or overpowering. Using this bold color with the white floors and white ceiling creates a nice delineation between the two.

via Reveny

Keep it Classic with a Neutral Pink

If you love the idea of a pink living room but want to keep your design style classic, try the shade in a soft, neutral tone. This color adds versatility to all types of design styles. Integrate other colors or add a playful pattern with art or furniture upholstery to make your living room more interesting.

The designer chose a powder pink hue that blends beautifully with pops of blue and other earthy tones in the room. You’ll find that lighter pink tones are your best friend if you’re looking for a style that can easily be changed whenever you want to update the room.

Pink Living Room Ideas: Mix and Match Motifs

No rule says your living room has to be all one style. Change things up by adding a variety of motifs together. For example, this living room integrates modern components like a pink velvet sofa, while the gold framed mirror brings it a traditional touch.

You don’t need to paint a pink ceiling to get the message across. A chic chandelier and a variety of plants give this room a lively element. Different throw blankets and pillows also add tons of texture.

via Alvhem

Pale Pink Makes Everything Pop

Pale pink walls allow everything else in this pink living room to stand out. Instead of hot pink accents, the designer chose to make black the standout hue. Details like the large white fireplace column and white ceiling trim remain as-is so they aren’t washed out.

Pink living room ideas don’t have to be overdone. Pick out the lightest pink possible to allow the other components in the room to pop. Simple furniture also keeps the eyes on the main focal points, which are the chandelier and fireplace.

Paint the Walls and Ceiling Pink

Dusky pink walls and a darker pink ceiling make this spot a pink lover’s dream. The purple sofa and dark purple side table also add a playful element. The absence of wall decor allows the color to shine.

The decor is kept to a minimum, focusing on the area rug and accent pillows, which both feature hints of blue. Overall, it makes for a wonderful, relaxing space. The sulking room pink color on the walls creates a nice contrast with the darker pink painted ceiling.

via Ferm Living

Paint Just the Ceiling

If you need more pink living room ideas, why not just paint the ceiling pink? Instead of pink walls, this living room uses pink on the ceiling, keeping the walls a traditional white color. Two large windows add lots of natural light.

Choosing a pink ceiling creates a whole new take on a standard pink living room. It also makes it easier to add a variety of furniture styles, decor, and other elements regardless of the color of the walls, since white is versatile by nature.

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.

A Darker Sage Green With Dark Floors and Accents

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.

Grayish Green With Light Neutrals and Dark Wood

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.

Lime Green Walls With White and Light Brown Tones

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.

Just a few short steps above a pastel green, this living room showcases both the furniture and the residents’ personality. As far as green living room ideas go, this style is sure to stand out from the crowd.

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

Natural textures in whites and browns feel right at home in a darker olive-green living room. Green once again takes a backseat to the overall design of this living room, allowing you to feel an even greater sense of calm and inner peace in this space.

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.

This provides the room with a natural feel that’s very soft-spoken in comparison to some of the other green living room ideas we’ve looked at. The overall living room color scheme here is incredibly relaxing, perfect for those with stressful and busy daily lives.

Light Grey-Green With Dark Woods and White Tones

When designing a living room with green elements, those elements don’t have to jump out at you. Similar to some of the other green living rooms we’ve looked at so far, the paint color here isn’t dominated by a green tone.

The green in the space is much more understated, allowing you to play with the overall design of the living room a bit more. Dark, natural wood flooring and furniture paired with other elements in the white and light grey family create a sense of space and lightness not often found in some of the other living rooms we’ve seen.

Olive Green Walls With a Green Velvet Sofa

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.

Soft, Minty-Green Accents Paired With Linens

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.

Deep Green Hue With Burnt Orange and Grey Furniture

Anyone looking for a high-contrast green living room should look no further than the example below. This living room takes a deep, forest green and pairs it with burnt orange furniture with touches of gray.

To make the green pop even more, they’ve placed lots of bright, solid white accents directly against it. All of this together keeps your eye moving through the room while the contrasting elements never let the green become overwhelming.

A blue living room can be a great choice if you are looking for a fresh and cool effect in your space. It might be a bold choice to some (especially when you compare it to an interior with white walls), yet just the right amount of blue can elevate the design of your living room to a new level.

When you have ample natural light streaming into your living room, you can easily go for a darker tone, while low-lit spaces might benefit from a lighter shade of blue.

In the list below, you can find the most inspiring blue living room ideas that I can ensure you, will make you want to whip out your paint brush. From light to dark, saturated to paler shades of blue, you can find it all in this list.

Pair your blue living room walls with natural tones to make them stand out, or work with opposites on the color wheel to add a more unique touch to the color palette. Good news: you don’t need to be an interior designer to make this trendy wall color work in your living room interior.

Pale dark blue walls paired with warm tones in the accessories

The pale dark blue paint on the walls in this living room makes the white molding, white skirting boards, window frames, and ceiling stand out in a powerful way.

The white couch is paired with a pale rug with an oriental pattern, a glass Gubi Pedrera coffee table, and a sand-colored lounge chair. The textiles on the sofa are selected in beige and brown tones that contrast nicely with the blue walls.

By adding contrasting colors to the living room gallery wall, the design becomes unique. The red and brown tones accentuate the bold color choice on the living room wall.

The interior designer allowed the white historic details of the living rooms’ architecture to come back in the white sofa, the sheer white curtains, and the white Ikea Besta cabinet on the wall for added storage.

From this blue and white color scheme, the black coffee table, side table, and armchair pop out in a powerful and contrasting way.

The cool tones in the blue walls, contrast with the subtle warm tones in the different shades of beige, allowing for an interesting play between cool and warm. This is a clever trick to add a sophisticated touch to your interior and since you are working with just two main colors, it’s fairly easy to implement.

Pick your favorite shade of blue and decorate it with different textures and textiles in beige, grey, and brown to find the mixture that works for your space.

A sage green living room can be stylish and refreshing, without having to go bold in your paint color choice. Sage green is a versatile color that can be combined with a plethora of secondary tones and with its reference to nature, it can add a beautiful fresh touch to a space, without being too overpowering. While it’s a great color choice for a living room, it’s perfect for a bedroom or even kitchen cabinets as well.

Take a look at the living rooms with sage green walls in the list below to get an idea of what this beautiful paint color can due to your room. If you are unsure about this color choice, you can always opt for an accent wall in your interior design and gradually paint the entire room later if you like the look.

Sage green walls and white furniture in a calming living space

The sage green paint color on the walls in this living room really transforms this ordinary space into a well-balanced interior that looks both fresh and warm at the same time.

The sage green paint color in this turn-of-the-century dining and living room brings out the white ceilings and the warm hardwood flooring that define the space. The different shades of wood in the dining table, dining chairs, and coffee table pair up nicely with the white sofa and the soft beige curtains in front of the windows.

The green plants bring out the green tones in the painted walls and add a subtle note of color to the decor.

The dark sage green paint color in this living room brings out the beautiful white crown molding and the white-soaped hardwood flooring in a lovely way. The white sofa combined with the dark area rug and the deeper green tones in the art prints creates a balanced contrast in the space.

The adjacent bedroom is painted white, which puts even more attention on the sage green walls in the main living area.

A light sage green living room with a matching artwork

Sage green is a versatile color that can replace whites when you go for a light tone. A light sage green can have a calming effect just like an off-white, yet it does add a bit more character to your living room.

The sage green walls in this living room are paired up with a white sofa and area rug and a contrasting black floor lamp and lounge chair. The artwork above the sofa includes the same sage green color for a beautiful tone-on-tone effect.

The fireplace in the corner of this living room is enhanced by the sage green walls on either side, setting the white details apart. The round mirror on top of the grey sofa reflects the space nicely and adds extra depth to the interior design.

Rather than working with a sage green accent wall, the white wall sections around the fireplace break up the green wall surfaces in a similar way.

Pair your Sage green walls with Red and Pink tones

While sage green paint works well with any neutral color palette, you can create a unique look by adding red, coral, and pink to the mixture.

The soft textured area rug in combination with the white sofa and the sage green paint creates the perfect backdrop for the contrasting black coffee table and the pink and red tones in the frames art prints.

What Colour goes with a sage green living room?

If you want your sage green walls to shine on their own, decorate in a neutral color palette and mix whites, beiges, brown, and wood tones for a soft look in your room. A neutral color palette will add a soothing effect to your interior design, while a light palette in your furniture and soft furnishings will make the sage green walls stand out in a soft yet powerful way.

Bring the outdoors indoors and decorate with fresh green plants that complement a sage green wall color. The plants can work as ideal accessories in a space with sage green walls.

If you want to go bold, decorate with shades of red, pink, and purple to contrast against a sage green accent wall. Since both colors are on the opposite side of the color wheel, you can create a unique look like this. To stay on the safe side, try decorating with throw pillows or art prints in powerful colors, rather than picking out larger furniture pieces.

Dark grey walls can have a moody effect in a room, yet when you combine them with an exciting mix of materials and a neutral color palette they can also be an instant boost in character and personality in an interior design. A darker color usually fits best in interiors that get a lot of natural light coming in, but when you are looking to add an extra moody vibe to a room, this isn’t a must.

If you are thinking about picking out a grey paint color for your living room that is a few shades darker, make sure to take a look at the beautiful and inspiring examples below. For those of you who need some inspiration on which paint samples to try out, I have included a list of paint colors at the bottom of this post.

Dark grey walls and a light grey trim on the ceiling

This beautiful turn-of-the-century living room pairs up charcoal grey walls with a darker grey paint color on the windows and a lighter grey right below the ceiling. This combination of grey paint shades accentuates the historic window frames and adds personality. By painting the top of the wall in a light grey, it accentuates the height of the ceilings.

The grey fabric sofa combined with the white area rug and the white teddy lounge chair contrasts nicely with the dark walls, while the wood tones in the herringbone flooring and the elegant round coffee table add a lot of warmth to the palette.

Dark grey walls in a small one-bedroom apartment with white floors

While the general interior advice will tell you to pick out a lighter wall color for small spaces, a darker color can add such character and personality, which can be very beneficial when you don’t have the floor space to work in your favor.

The living room in this small apartment has dark grey walls, which are contrasted by the white-painted hardwood flooring and the white ceiling. The cream velvet sofa and the white coffee table add more lightness to the palette, while the brown leather armchair, rug, and pillow add a lot of warmth.

Grey walls combined with warm orange tones in a room filled with natural light

The warm grey walls in this turn-of-the-century living room bring out the white ceilings, crown molding, and window frames in a nice way. The base palette of the soft furnishings has been picked out in a light palette as well while tints of brown and orange add warm accents against the grey walls.

The black Flos 265 wall lamp works well against the soft grey wall color and I love the way the fresh green leaves of the small tree in front of the window pop out as the only green tone in the interior design.

The natural light coming through those windows is dimmed out by the sheer dark grey curtains, which adds a moody effect to this living room that is strengthened by the dark grey wall color.

The grey area adds another grey element to this interior design, which is then lightened up by the big white fabric sofa, the white paper lamp, and the white in the artwork and throw pillows.

Mid-grey walls and a white living room palette

This grey wall color is a few shades lighter as in the other examples in the list, yet this light tone does a perfect job as a darker backdrop for the white palette in the sofa area and the wood and black palette in the dining room area of the interior.

The neutral walls work so well in combination with the white fabrics in the sofa area and I love the way they are paired up with the gallery wall with monochrome prints and the spider-like formation of simple light fittings on the ceiling.

Dark grey walls that make the white crown molding pop

The charcoal grey walls in this light-flooded living room have slightly cool undertones that pair up so nicely with the warm wood tones in the hardwood flooring and the beige textiles on the white sofa have a calming effect in the room.

The dark grey walls make the white trim on the ceiling pop out wonderfully and I love the way the walnut String pocket shelf pairs up with this wall color. The white sofa is matched with a white coffee table, light grey area rug, and a white pouf which is a great way to balance out the darkness of the wall color.

Dark grey walls as the perfect backdrop for a white sofa

By painting the walls up to the ceiling, without a trim, you create a very modern look with clean lines. The grey walls are lightened by the white sofa and light oak hardwood flooring and I love the dark blue, black, and brown accents in the artwork and the textiles that add both warm and cool accents to the mix along with the other neutrals in the palette.

In this gorgeous historic living room, the same shade of dark grey paint is used on the walls as well as on the wainscoting that spreads over the entire height of the wall.

Dark grey paint colors to give a try

While picking out paint colors for your interior, I’m sure beige has crossed your mind. It’s a neutral paint color that is often picked out in all sorts of homes because of how accessible beige is to pair up with other interior elements. For this reason though in the past years, it has been called boring as well.

Below I gathered the most inspiring living room designs with beige walls that are far from boring and I promise you they will make you want to whip out your paintbrush.

Warm beige walls combined with beige and white soft furnishings

Depending on from which angle you look at these walls, this wall color could fall in the beige or off-white category. Nevertheless, its modest and subtle qualities bring out the beautiful tones in the artwork and the pink and brown accessories in the interior design.

I also like the way the black Valerie Objects wall lamp contrasts against the perfect canvas of the wall color.
