Pairing home furnishings with a great color scheme can seem a daunting task. It is actually very easy if you know what you like and know what you are working with.

Six of the current most popular combinations below:

Eclectic Elegance
Shades of turquoise, jade green and yellow-green for a cohesive and sophisticated look pairs perfectly with darker woods.

Traditional Neutrals
Neutral colors are the perfect background for a living room. Add accessories in muted shades or bright hues to achieve different looks. Several shades of brown and tan can be paired with muted shades of red and green to create a calming but interesting atmosphere.

Breezy Contemporary
Cool blue draperies and cream walls contrast well with the dark brown floors to create a relaxing, contemporary living area. You can even chose fabrics like the brown zebra print and adding a soft cream area rug to go with a more antique design of furniture.

Deep Hues
Design a living room that makes a statement with rich, saturated shades, like the dark gray and purple of this space. To keep the space from looking too dark, use cream furnishings and two-toned draperies.

Brightly Colored
This uplifting palette uses fuchsia to add a little passion, while bright green creates an organic richness to the space. The classic color palette of pink and green is updated and given youthful appeal by using shades of lime and fuchsia.

Classic Palette
A color scheme of red and cream is paired with classic furnishings for a traditionally styled living room. The light walls of the living room are grounded with a dark red area rug while fabrics in cream, gold and red pull the color palette throughout the space.
