Cute Color Schemes For Your Front Room

Just like clothes, what’s trendy in the home is ever changing. Colors come in and out of fashion, and we see distinct styles appear when scrolling through Pinterest and flicking through home magazines. For example, after a long stint of magnolia, most of us are now banishing this warm white shade from our home in favor of other neutrals. Stainless steel and granny florals made a comeback, and right now it’s marble and copper galore! If you fancy a bit of a change with your color scheme, here are a few ideas to consider.

Think About Flooring and Sofas First

First things first, if you choose your flooring wisely it will work with any decor changes over the years. A neutral colored carpet, a stone floor or even a wood floor from a site like http://www.pcwoodfloors.com/locations/brooklyn/ would all be wise choices. The right floor covering will stay constant and still look great year after year, regardless of what else is going on in the room. You do not have to replace it every time you fancy a change of decor. Sofas are a big investment and not something you will want to be replacing on a regular basis. If you choose relatively plain styles in neutral colors, again they will work with any decor changes and not look outdated or old fashioned. Don’t forget they can be dressed up with throws and cushions to liven them up, but keeping the base piece safe and classic will give you best value for money over the years.

Grey and Blush Pink

Grey is definitely the neutral of choice right now. This cool shade looks fantastic in the home and works for everything from walls to kitchen cupboards to sofas and more. To keep everywhere looking light, bright and breezy opt for a very light shade if you’re painting the walls. If you want to go for something darker and more dramatic you could create an accent wall like this http://www.houzz.co.uk/photos/2558856. Blush pink is the perfect accompaniment with the color, together they’re a really soft and pretty combination. The pink accents can warm up the look and bring in a bit of color in a classy and elegant way.

Monochrome

White rooms with black accents make for a very chic, sleek finish. If you want a room that looks modern, clean and spacious, this will be right up your street. To get this look right, it’s important that your walls are in good condition, having them skimmed by a plasterer might be a good idea. White will show up any bumps or marks easily so it might not be for everyone, but if you can pull it off, it looks absolutely fantastic. How about a super minimalist room, smooth white walls and then a dramatic gallery wall with black frames to add interest? You could even add a few pops of bright color with a cushion or rug, since everywhere very serene and neutral you could get away with something really vibrant.

Navy and Yellow

Navy blue and yellow make a gorgeous combination, and if you fancy something a little more colorful in the home, this is one to consider. If you have a larger room, confidently painting one wall in a very dark navy blue looks beautiful. Pile on navy and yellow cushions onto the sofa, and add small accents of the yellow elsewhere in the room too. This is a bold combination, so keeping the other three walls white and everywhere else very neutral is your best bet. Sites like http://homedesignlover.com/living-room-designs/gold-navy-living-rooms/ have design ideas, this can be a tricky combo to get just right so be sure to plan beforehand so you know how everything will look.
