Whether you want to change up your old design or start everything from scratch, here are a few living room painting ideas to reveal your space's potential.

If you like yellow, you can opt for a two-tone color scheme and combine light and dark shades of yellow. You can also choose two completely different but complementary colors such as yellow and white or yellow and blue.
Tips for choosing colors
Think about how colors affect your mood. Do light or dark colors bring out the best in you? Once you've chosen your colors, think about how you can use them. Do you need a contrasting or subtle color for an accent wall, a support column, a sloping roof? Buy a color wheel. Complementary colors, such as yellow and purple or yellow and blue, are opposite each other. Paint two opposite walls one color, and leave the remaining two walls white. This will make the room appear either larger or smaller depending on the color you choose. Feel free to coordinate the wall color with the color of the couch, as it is often the focus.

Colors that you may have previously thought weren't a good pairing because they're just so different from each other quickly turn out to be the perfect color combination. Blue and yellow are certainly such colors that ultimately create a wonderfully upbeat and fresh look for the room and are a great combination.
