This unexpected color combination idea may sound weird, but the result is striking if well implemented. Paint a dark teal color in a selected area like the one covering the fireplace mantel or a small wall that serves as a focal point in a neutral space. Keep the walls warm gray and get a dark brown or rich leather sofa against it. Throw a rug and cushions to add natural tones, then step back and pat your back!

Are you after a fun and neutral look in your sitting room? Neutrals are common and plain, but when pink is added to the equation, it takes a fun twist. The rule here is to start with a neutral base color of the light gray seats and pure white walls. Add a pop in a savvy way without overdoing, like pink wallpaper on one wall. On the throw pillows, throw some small doses of bright colors like metallic gold and coral accents to neutralize the pink.
