Cozy neutral living room color schemes

Today I’m sharing neutral living room color schemes you can use to transform your space into a cozy retreat.

Neutrals have always been my go to in my home. I love how they provide a timeless and versatile backdrop that complements any decor.

What I’ve done is drawn 5 colors from 20 different neutral living rooms to create color schemes for your inspiration. Below each photo you’ll find suggested paint colors and matching decor ideas.

Once you choose a color scheme you like, you can then use one color for your walls, maybe another for an accent wall. The other colors can be your floor, furniture, and decor.

And while these are living room color schemes, you can use the coordinating paint colors throughout your home for a cohesive whole house color scheme.
