Affordable colour schemes for beautiful family living rooms

 

After moving, we won't have much money left over, but we truly want a comfortable home where the family can hang out. What are our options?

The cost of moving might be high, leaving you with little money to furnish your new home. However, the majority of new movers are eager to start decorating right away, particularly if they have a family to get used to their new home.

Our worldwide survey indicates that 60% of respondents place their living room at the top of their list of things to do when they move into a new house. For that reason, we've developed six suggestions for easy and reasonably priced paint projects that will help you create a family space you'll adore.

1) Adopt color separation

Not able to afford to paint the entire space? Instead, try some well-thought-out color blocking. For instance, you may paint the wall behind your sofa one color, then choose a different color for the alcoves in the room and a different color for the walls surrounding your windows. For this, a variety of teal hues work incredibly nicely.

2) Apply contrasting paint to doors.

This is a creative approach to add some color to a simple white space. Choose striking colors for your doorframes and then paint the door a complementary color. For instance, you might paint an indigo door with a yellow door or a blue frame with an orange door. Because there isn't much surface space to cover, the prices are kept cheap and the kids will adore the vibrant colors.

3) Pay attention to your frames

Painting your window and doorframes might have an equally spectacular effect if you have your eye on a certain color but are unable to use it on your walls. Choosing a darker tone for your frames compared to your walls can also give the impression that your space is larger.

4) Make your bookcases more colorful

To make your living room plan pop, consider painting any floating shelves or built-in bookcases a vibrant tone. For a whimsical rainbow appearance, you might even paint each shelf a different color. Alternatively, you could use subtle color variations to create a cohesive aesthetic. Color-code your books to finish the ensemble.

The best advice

Use a few low-cost accessories, such colorful pottery, scatter pillows, or painted picture frames, to tie the idea together and choose the color of your paint for a designer-style finish.
