Living room that joined together with dining room could be an appropriate place for the tricks of colors. Beside increasing the value of space, color tricks can become a virtual barrier and differentiate the living room from the other rooms.
In the above picture, because it has direct border with the dining room, living room must be made different from the dining room which has dominant color of brown wood. For that, the designer dressed the living room with bright colors, like yellow and blue.
But keep in mind, though bright, these colors tend to be dark, so must be careful in applying it. Closed room and less light should be avoided because these colors can make spaces seem so narrow.
Instead of using bright colors, a living room can also be made with a combination of natural color. This natural color is usually taken from the natural color, for example: brown, cream and white.
Using of white color is needed to balancing the dark brown color. White color can reflect light so the room will look wider and brighter. If you do not want to use white color because fear of dirty, you can also use other colors that are light but still be natural, such as light beige or light green.
As a refresher, placed modern or traditional paintings on the walls of living room. For color, choose a calm and natural character, like brown, green, or sea blue.
