1. GO DARK AND MOODY WITH NEAR-BLACK
There is something luxurious about a deep and smoky color that is close to black. It feels deliberate and when confidently executed, it has a luxurious quality to it. 'Dark hues, when used correctly, can add a dramatic and expensive feel,' says Artem Kropovinsky of Arsight.
2. KEEP IT CLASSY WITH THE PERFECT OFF-WHITE
On the flip side, the perfect off-white feels curated and elegant, mainly because it will never go out of trend. For Grey Joyner of Grey Joyner Interiors, white walls will never omit the same quality of luxury because they can often feel cold. ‘I do not like white walls as it can feel sterile and lacking in luxury,’ says Grey.
3. DITCH GRAY FOR EARTHY BROWNS
2023 was the year when earth-tone living rooms dominated, and gray was banished once and for all. Where gray felt cool and austere, browns has a retro edge, and feels cool, modern and sophisticated. Grays with brown undertones are perfect for a luxurious living room color scheme and are wonderful paint shades for a cozy living room too.
4. BE BOLD WITH A DEEP BLUE
'It depends on the space, but darker blues are great for making a living room feel luxurious and elegant,' says Regan Baker of Regan Baker Design. 'Darker blue living rooms allow you to really embrace mood,' she says.
5. GO FOR A TIMELESS FINISH WITH GREENS
Timeless living room colors will always help your room feel luxurious and expensive, and green is one of those colors that feels effortlessly timeless in all its manifestations because it calls to nature.
