Colors for living rooms 2022: Palettes for walls and decor

Talking about colors for living rooms would seem to put endless possibilities on the table. Deciding which of them will be the best can be a daunting task. Unfortunately, colors by themselves often do not let us see their full potential for a room, so we tend to quickly discard them.

However, we thought it convenient to bring you concrete possibilities of color palettes to paint the walls and decorate rooms, with graphic examples of how interesting a combination can be.

There are very nice trendy colors to paint the living room, such as many shades of elegant greys, earthy beiges and browns, viridian and pistachio greens, some deep shades of blue, such as prussian or oxford. In addition to these colors, warm tones such as mustard yellow, burgundy red and dusty pink come to life.

Green

Bringing in colors from nature is one way to keep a room cheerful and always stay modern. You should focus on the main color and then combine elements of other colors, maintaining harmony in the room without overloading it.

Viridian green

The samples of the Salone del Mobile and the Milano Design Week showed a lot of color for 2022. Without a doubt, one of the trends is to go towards bluish shades of green, such as viridian.

This is a fresh contemporary style that takes advantage of the colors white, viridian green, yellow and black, to create a relaxing, pleasant and simple space. It is important to note that each color plays an important role in the composition.

Pistachio green

Lots of pistachio tones were also seen, although the trend is to leave the saturated tones that have been seen a lot last year, and use softer and more delicate shades of green.

This room has an eclectic elegance, characteristic of the conjunction of a luminous pistachio green on the wall, with the green of the plants, and delicate shades of gray and beige.

Green and pink

If you want to provide your living room with cheerful colors, you can use a bluish green, white, pink and beige, accompanied by details in brown (such as a piece of furniture), which provides a ground wire, to so many strong sensations that the eye will perceive in this room.
