A complementary color is what most living rooms are created by. What if you stepped out of the safe zone and started adding a little color to your own color palette. Then you will see a different look and feel to your room in an instant.

White has always been a base color for everything but it's not always the best choice for everyone. White doesn't usually express your actual personality it usually just means that you are playing it safe with colors. Colors express your personality. For example, you might like bright colors like reds and yellows. Or you may prefer colors that are more earth toned.

The color you have chosen for your living room is the first color that people notice when they come to visit. You want to create an inviting living room and you also want it to be relaxing.

One great way to make your floor look fantastic is by using an area rug. Even in carpeted living rooms, area rugs look fantastic. Area rugs add depth to design. This look can apply to any type of flooring. Spread out an area rug and watch your room change around you.
