Living room paint colours

Wondering what to put on your living room walls? With so many colours available, knowing where to start can be tricky. First, decide whether you prefer a neutral or colourful living room. If you want to combine both designs, we've got plenty of ideas for feature walls in living rooms, allowing you to add a fun pop of colour. Explore the best colours here to get inspired:

  • Grey living room ideas. Whether soft grey or charcoal, this colour is timeless and versatile. Create a modern grey living room or use grey as a softer alternative to black or white in traditional homes.
  • Cream living room ideas. If white feels too stark or cold, but you want to brighten up a small living room, try warm neutrals like cream. This colour works particularly well in traditional homes but can create contemporary elegance in modern interiors.
  • Green living room ideas. Green can be as bold or subtle as you like, from lighter colours like sage to dark forest green. If you’re dipping your toe into colour, it's a great alternative to neutrals, evoking nature and calm.
  • Blue living room ideas. Blue is another versatile choice for living rooms, whether you choose a light or dark colour. Use it to create a feature wall in neutral spaces or go all-out with a tonal blue colour scheme.
  • Yellow living room ideas. Add a splash of sunshine to your living room with yellow. From rich mustard to soft pastel yellow, this colour adds warmth and vibrancy.
