Painting a living room can refresh your area for family get-togethers or planned events. It’s one room that requires a special touch to match the furniture in the room. The living room can be the focal point of a home so it’s important to pick a color that flows with the whole house. Here are a few tips. Warm colors help out a living room because sunny colors in large rooms make the room more desirable. Neutral colors often will bring the outside into your living space. White paint on molding and trim makes a beautiful detailed look. Cooler colors will provide a cool hue for the space.
