How do you decide when decorating a room? First, decide the function of the room. Which part will be the living room? Are you the type to entertain a lot of guests? How do you want it to feel? Do you want the room to be in a warm color or dark? Deciding the theme of the room is a matter of personal preference. Choosing a theme for your living room can be quite exciting and tricky as you want it to reflect your personality as the master of your space.
This living room is an example of a monochromatic and almost achromatic color scheme. Monochromatic schemes use shades and tints of one color or hue and range from light to dark tones, while achromatic means using no to very little color, so the prominent colors used in this kind of scheme are white, gray, and black.
The neutral colors used in this room create a calming space, especially if you’re the type to enjoy relaxing in your living room at the end of the day. You can spice up achromatic rooms with a dose of your personality by adding accent pieces and textures. For example, this room used a large compass that balances out the other elements on the opposite side which is the mirror, candle stands, and the fireplace.
