More and more interior designers are offering ideas for living spaces in earth tones. The natural colors have a great appeal - they relax the senses and spread a happy atmosphere. Skillfully placed color accents refresh the room atmosphere. Preliminary planning is particularly important for a successful color mix. It is best to paint small and dark rooms in light tones such as sand, beige or gray and furnish the room with furniture in strong colors. Green, blue and yellow give the room a kick of freshness. A wooden wall can also be perfectly integrated into the modern living space - your guests will be captivated by the attractive grain. Larger living rooms can be divided into several areas with furniture in bold colors - a shelving system will display your favorite books and at the same time visually separate the seating area from the dining area. Creativity is what is needed here - the walls can do itdecorated with pictures, posters or family photosbecome.
Skillfully combine home accessories
Above all, it is important to match the style of the home accessories to the furniture. The modern, minimalist interior can be complimented by a vase with clean lines in an accent color. A rug with stripes in yellow, white and blue will add the right touch to the Scandinavian interior. Exotic golden statues will accentuate the impressive colonial-style furniture. And if you would like to spice up the room, you should first look around your own home, as long-forgotten colorful decorative pieces are often found there.
Add color accents in blue
Adding colorful accents doesn't necessarily mean that major changes have to be made. You can create a colorful kick not only with attractive wall design and new, colorful or patterned pieces of furniture. Even with small home accessories, such as various decorative figures, attractive picture frames, modern vases or unusual bowls on the coffee table, you can bring a nice touch of freshness into the room. Without redecorating the entire living room, you can add a new touch with colored textiles. You can add colorful accents with opaque curtains, colorful decorative pillows, cozy blankets or a fluffy carpet.
With an attractive carpet as an eye-catcher
Which color you choose depends primarily on your personal taste. Of course, the spatial effect you want to achieve should not be underestimated. It is well known that colors influence our surroundings and our feelings. For this reason, you have to carefully choose the right color and create a very personal ambience that makes you feel good. This applies equally to large-scale wall design as well as to the color design with decorations and small accessories. Each color has its own characteristics and its own effect, which means that it also shapes the room climate and our mood. The blue color, for example, brings harmony and dreaminess into the room. So if you want to relax after a stressful day and free yourself from the burden of the day, blue is the right choice for you. With color accents in purple you also ensure peace and serenity.
Color-coordinated chairs and coffee tables
If you want to add an extra touch of freshness and comfort, you can achieve this with splashes of green. The green color enhances the joy of socializing and makes the room appear tidier. Green also promotes your self-confidence and creativity. This color provides freshness and drives away tiredness. On the other hand, you can use splashes of orange in a living room with insufficient light sources. Your living area will immediately be illuminated. However, you must not overdo it with the color orange, otherwise the room will appear narrower. With this color you create a carefree and pleasant environment.

The invigorating color exudes powerful impulses and provides a real kick of freshness. If you want to fill your living space with a good mood and warmth, you can choose yellow. The bright color drives away the dullness and boredom from your living space and lets it shine in a whole new light. Just like green, yellow promotes creativity. If you have placed your work area in the living room, you can benefit from the strong color effect.

You can also achieve great furnishings with different color combinations. It is important that you coordinate the furniture, accessories and wall color. It's best to limit yourself to three colors that you can use to add color accents. A harmonious overall picture is created when you combine different tones from a color family. Otherwise, anything you like is allowed. Create great color combinations based on your own feelings and create a unique feeling in the living room. If you want to add a lively touch to the coziness of your living area, you can, for example, combine walls or furniture in coffee brown with strong colors.

Candles are undoubtedly one of the great and simple ideas. They are great mood makers and look great in groups of different colors or in a tone-on-tone combination.
