3 Modern Living Room Color Schemes

Author ChadLatest UpdateJul 24, 20230537

Switching up your color palette is all you need for a dramatic refresh in your living room. These three color schemes work well in modern living rooms, each with its own vibe. Whether you dream of a modern living room that is fresh and light, intense and layered, or contemporary and elegant, FinnStyle has the furniture and home accents to help you pull it all together.

Grey/White/Citron

The calming and airy neutrals are energized with citron yellow accents.

Make your own wall hanging with the Marimekko Lumimarja fabric. Throw pillows are often thought of as a pop of color, but sometimes they work well as grounding details, such as the subtly playful grey and white Marimekko Throw Pillows atop the couch.

Teal/Emerald/Cobalt

The minimal modern lines of the furniture and architecture are contrasted with the more-is-more color palette, a refreshing departure from typical modern interiors. Saturated jewel tones are layered for a bold, yet cozy effect.

Dip your toe in with the Marimekko Siirtolapuutarha Green / Turquoise Throw Pillow. Layer color onto shelves or tablescapes with the iittala Ruutu and iittala Aalto Vases. Add even more colorful coziness with our selection of eye-catching throw blankets.

Amethyst/White/Gold

On-trend warm metals pair well with purples when restrained with white bases. (And by the way, those dining chairs are the Fritz Hansen Ant Chair.)

What are your favorite statement pieces or grounding elements for a modern living room?
