Living Room Design Dilemma Home Decorating

Accent color ideas?

8 years ago

Hi guys! We just built our new house and it’s on the lake. Here is a pic of the fire place in our living room, the floor and paint is the same throughout. I have s white leather sofa going in the space and will be purchasing 2 wingbacks (color undecided).
I’d love accent color or design suggestions.

Draw your color inspiration from the lake. I would imagine there will a variety of greens, blues, grays and browns that you can bring into your home as major or supporting players.

Here are a couple of examples for you:

I think you could repeat the colors in the tile in the chairs in a deep charcoal with a textured weave....then natural wood tones and greens and blues for accents seen outside your window.

Warm accents of leather and gold

I would go with gray chairs. Then colors for accents in decor.

You already have your color palette .... it's the one you're already working with. Grays. Browns. Creams. Natural colors from nature with the lake as your inspiration.
