Blues cool rooms down instead of heating them up. Promote relaxation and bathe in the luxurious tones of this aqua living room makeover.

 

Neutral living room

A sedate blank slate of neutral furnishings such as an off-white sofa, jute rug and wood lamp base, can be the jumping off point for a completely new look in your living room.

 

Aqua living room-2

In our aqua living room, eye-catching patterns emerge in the playful accessories: pillows in patchwork and paisley, a graphic rug and a lampshade crisscrossed in white.  Consider how different this setting feels from the coral one or yellow room—even with the same couch, walls and rug.

 

Aqua living room artwork

Neon brights seen in the swirling landscape painting, the patchwork chair and even the book covers take the chill off.

 

Aqua living room lamp and pillow

Cool colors tend to recede, and that rule of thumb holds true for aqua. Still, aqua’s faint hint of yellow gives it a warm vibe that suits the playfulness of this pillow and lampshade.

 

Aqua living room-3

The cabinet’s deeper teal keeps it from competing with more attention-grabbing pieces in our aqua living room.

 

Aqua living room coffee tabletop

Jazz up a neutral space by using different intensities of the same color. The neutral carpet and sofa are awakened here by a deeper aqua on the coffee table, a bright pastel on the wood tray and a heathery mix in the throw

 

Aqua living room-1

From azure to deep indigo, blue imbues a room with serenity and a refreshing energy at once. Plus, no other color pairs as well with white!
