The living room is where we come to think, to slow down the world for a second. You need to make sure that the living room is always clean, things are in order and color must be pleasing to the eyes.

Monochromatic Living Room
A monochromatic living room is essentially a space having a single color even if you bring in its varying shades, tints, and hues but has numerous shades. The most evident and used color on this type of room is white because it is one of the best colors to use even in public places as it gives the room a pleasing and relaxing environment and it looks neat and clean. Having this same color all-around in your living room signifies unity, harmony, purity, and calmness, and as you can see this color always will affect your emotions and it will reflect your personality. You can also use two colors in different shades to create texture for your floor and walls. You can make some personal twists at the same time by adding some elements to improve the depth of the design and improve its dynamics for others not to feel bored when seeing the same color all around.

Neutral Living Room with Pops of Color
If you are more creative, lively, and want your room to be more attractive, a neutral living room with pops of color is the best for you. This can add color not only to your living room but also to yourself as these colors can bring you more energy for you to be alive and alert always. A neutral color will always be classic and you will never grow tired of seeing pops of color inside your living room. Adding some colors to your furniture, wall decorations, pillows, and some home accessories will make your living room look more pretty and attractive. Having neutral colors work with any design and offer colorful opportunities like in modern interiors, it allows the architecture of the room and the lines of high-quality furniture to come alive and be noticed. Having this kind of living room means you are an artist, designer, stylist, party-goer who has a strong and cool personality.
