Coordinating colors give rooms a sense of unity.
Your living room is the place where family and friends gather to relax and have fun. It's important that the colors in your living room create harmony for everyone to feel welcome and comfortable. Coordinating color schemes is easy because colors that work harmoniously sit next to one other on color wheels. Coordinating colors can be warm or cool, and it's convenient to go with a color palette with at least three colors.
Instructions
1. Begin with three colors that already appear in the decor of your living room. Look at furniture, window treatments, rugs, lamps and other accessories you have in the room when you make these choices. Choose one primary color, which will be the color you see the most in your living room.
2. Choose secondary colors from furnishings and accessories to unify the objects in your living room. For example, you could coordinate your window treatments with a color from a painting in your room. Choose a color that will also coordinate with the colors throughout your room.
3. Choose a contrasting secondary color to bring interest to your living room. This color will be opposite the primary color on the color wheel. Use this color in small doses, but use enough of it to attract attention. Flowers and candles are pleasing for this effect, and you can change them without much cost or effort.
4. Paint your walls a color you enjoy and one that will coordinate with several different furnishings and objects that are already in your living room.
5. Highlight secondary colors throughout the room with throw pillows, vases, lampshades and other accessories. Spread the objects evenly across your room to create a sense of balance.
