You could go bright and bold with reds or blues and confine them to cushions, throws, curtains, or any other easily changeable accessory item. Quick Tip – Use the embellishments in your room to experiment with, for example, you can add accents of dark gray, brown, or black to door frames to punctuate the look.
For the carpet and furniture, think tan, beige or brown, and don’t be afraid to add flashes of gold, natural bright greens, and even some surprise reds.
The other great thing about a boho interior is that you can have more accessories around than you would in a minimalist space, but thanks to the muted colors you won’t feel overwhelmed or cluttered.
The great thing about neutral living room ideas is that there are so many directions you can go in – and you may be surprised at what bright colors go well with beige and natural shades. Warmth invariably comes from fabrics, textiles, and finishes that are soft to the touch – a cozy, rustic room can be created from any number of neutral shades as long as they are tactile.
Warmth can be created with wooden floors, faux fur rugs and throws, natural linens, clay vases, and art, with woolen cushions and blankets. Make sure your room already feels warm with well-sealed windows and an open fire – you’ll never want to leave your new little hiding place!
One tone or color can look so varied if it has different textures – imagine a room full of earthy browns, some of which are on a wooden floor, some on a shimmering, metallic ceiling light, others in the linen drapes and a soft corduroy couch.
Add some metallic accessories to lift the mood, and keep the texture of faux fur, wool, and wood when you go for the full complement of modern neutral colors for the living room. So there you go – you have so many beige living room ideas that pull the old neutral aesthetic right into the current decade to make your space feel cozy and anything but boring. Rather than slightly cold shades that helped us feel practical and orderly, we now want a more relaxing, nature-inspired room to kick back in at the end of a long day.
