Like many families, you probably spend a significant amount of time in your living room. It’s important to make it a comfortable space, and if you’re considering a home improvement project to make it better, keep it simple with a basic paint job. The staff at Henry’s Services Inc. in Anchorage, AK, advise that the right color can completely transform a space and want to share a few of their favorites. If you’re looking for ideas, consider the options below.

The Top 3 Living Room Paint Colors

1. Charcoal

While anything near black is considered a no-no on a large scale, when used correctly, it plays an important role. If you have a very “active” living room—interesting decor, multi-colored furniture, and lots of paintings—a simple black or charcoal paint job creates the perfect canvas to bring everything together and removes interior design clashes.

2. Salmon

If you have a distinct color theme—such as a pronounced blue—on all of your living room furniture and decor, it’s best to pair it with a single, soft color. Salmon is a favorite because it lets stronger colors stand out without being overpowering and creates the ideal juxtaposition of calm and boldness. Try it on a primary wall and consider a creme trim for a subtle pop.

3. White-Gray

The options between white and gray are seemingly endless. Pewter, creme, ivory, and more are all available and work best with large, open floorplans. It makes spaces appear clean and bigger, and as a neutral color, it can work with any existing warm or cool interior design palettes. It’s an especially good color category to explore following extensive home improvement work, as it’s also easy to cover up if needed.
