Living Room Color Palettes

Breezy Contemporary



Cool blue draperies and cream walls contrast well with the dark brown floors to create a relaxing, contemporary living area. RMSer mdcandela adds interest to the subtle color palette by choosing fabrics like the brown zebra print and adding a soft cream area rug.

Brightly Colored


This uplifting palette uses fuchsia to add a little passion, while the bright green creates an organic richness to the space. Designer Shelly Riehl David updates the classic color palette of pink and green by using shades of lime and fuchsia.

Traditional Neutrals


Neutral colors are the perfect background for a living room. Add accessories in muted shades or bright hues to achieve different looks. Designer Kenneth Brown pairs several shades of brown and tan with muted shades of red and green to create a calming but interesting atmosphere.

Lounge-Worthy Poolside Patios

Water Park at Home


This elaborate pool setup looks like a water park, but it is actually a backyard. The 45-foot pool slide adds a fun element to the yard for both kids and adults. The archways and stone and stucco elements bring visual appeal, while a fire pit and an outdoor kitchen make the space great for entertaining guests.

Outdoor Living Area


Incorporate an outdoor living room into your yard for a relaxing place to unwind. The dark wood pergola complements the light wood outdoor furniture, while the splash of cobalt blue from the dining table brings life to the space.

Geometric Pool


The geometric-shaped pool brings an artistic look to this quaint backyard. The fire bowls next to the pool are filled with black glass and mirror pieces that reflect the glow from the fire, while water pours down into the pool. Oversized concrete pavers create a pathway from the pool to the house.

Mixing Fire and Water


The green stucco wall covered with bamboo gives a spa-like feel to this chic outdoor pool area. Up lighting, coupled with the stucco fireplace, makes the space perfect for an outdoor soiree.

Serene Eating Area


Lush plants create a natural privacy wall in this backyard. Concrete pavers lead from the wooden patio area to the other side of the pool, and a large fire pit and up lighting create a serene ambiance.
