Color scheme for living area

7 years ago

I am having a hard time piecing things together for my living room. My living area is full of browns. My couch is a taupe color with solid brown throw pillows and gray, baby blue and brown striped throw pillows. I need pops of colors to brighten my room. Any suggestions?

Can you add color with window treatments and an area rug? Maybe you can draw from the blue in your pillows and go from there. Colorful art on the walls would also help.

Have you thought about adding a rug that would bring in a pop of color?
