What Should a Color Scheme Be?
There are so many colors to work with. Some look great on walls others on the floor and some on furniture. But how to make synchronization of the three. To begin with, don’t overwhelm yourself with this technical stuff anymore. Look around and learn from nature. In your garden, you must have different hues of flowers. Look at how nature has cast its shadow, what colors it chooses and what the different combinations look like. After this find out what looks soothing to your eyes.
The unusual combo of the dark moss green walls and coral accent couch make this room a contemporary haven. The pink modern sofa not only adds visual interest to this room, but it also ensures that the red accent pillows and rug don’t give a dreaded Christmas feel.
Doing this will give you the confidence to look at the color wheel for a more accurate scheme. One of the basics of using is – never more than three colors in a room.
Contemporary
To have a contemporary space, use soft color patterns on the walls and floors of the room.
Large windows that allow lots of natural light make sure that this room isn’t overwhelmed by it’s dark green hue. Try pairing rusty orange with a sage green to achieve a similar tribal vibe.
Achromatic
In the achromatic scheme black, gray and white are used to give it a modern appeal. Modern living room can have this color scheme.
A natural feel is highlighted in this living room with the use of nature wall art, large windows and a unique ceiling fan. The addition of orange accent pillows add just the right pop of color to offset the green walls.
Monochromatic
In a monochromatic scheme the same tones are used for a calming effect. Like you can choose various tones of green, red or blue on the walls of the room.
If a mid century living room what you are after, green can play a key factor. The lime green accent wall in this design is beautifully offset with dark leather accent chairs, a large ottoman, and brown beamed ceilings.

In line
In an analog scheme, colors that are next to each other on the wheel are selected. For the seascape theme you can choose green and blue and for the Mexico theme choose red and orange.
A large wall terrarium draws the eye to the back of this wondrous living room. Although such an extravagant project may not be in your budget, a large nature painting or mural would have a similar effect.
Triadic
In this case every fourth color in the living room wheel is taken. Like if you chose red then you have yellow and blue along with this.
Not many homes are lucky enough to have a full wall backdrop of greenery, but those who are could try framing it in a similar fashion. To get the look, consider using neutrals and let mother nature add the color for you. The soft hues combined with the outside greenery give this space a fresh and revitalizing feel.
Which complement each other
Choose a 180 degree color which means they are opposite to each other. Blue and orange, red and green, light purple and yellow etc. are included in this group.
White always runs the risk of feeling sterile and impersonal, but not in this living room. A sage green accent wall, glass coffee tables with warm wooden bases, orange throw pillows, and the high pile rug in this room strike the perfect balance of calm and stylish.

This is also where you should look for color schemes and styles before buying. There are many types of styles that you can buy. The most common are traditional, contemporary, British, French, Victorian, Asian and Vintage. The difference lies in the materials used, finish, engraving, weight, color, and smoothness.
