This hue, while actually a red-toned deep purple, appears more like a mahogany brown when painted across all four walls and the ceiling. “We wanted to bring in jewel tones to create a dynamic space,” designer Marie Flanigan says of this Houston home’s lounge. The rest of the house is painted bright white, allowing this space to be a cozy escape.

This room (designed by Sarah Vaile) may be covered in orange wood paneling, but the cozy hue inspires us to get the look with a fresh coat of paint. Orange can be intimidating, but when paired with its complementary hue, blue, the color leans more inviting than garish.

Much of the home redesign budget in this Texas home, executed by Hilary Colia and Jennifer Kostohryz of Fort Design Studio, went to trim and wallpaper, per the homeowner’s request. “Her love for color and pattern was a driver in every part of the design,” Kostohryz says. The great room is drenched in a bubblegum pink which unexpectedly honors and highlights the home’s original architecture. Even the ceilings are painted to give the room a rosy glow.

Interior designer Cecilia Casagrande searched for a living room paint color that was “lush but livable.” She landed on Hague Blue by Farrow & Ball. By leaving the ceilings white, Casagrande gives the illusion of higher ceilings in this historic home.

Coastal design can easily lean kitschy, so to elevate this Palm Beach home, the team behind Kemble Interiors opted for a step above ocean blue. The slightly green teal living room paint color (Del Mar Blue by Benjamin Moore) livens up the space and pairs perfectly with the patterned wallcovering.

Magnolia’s Director of Styling wanted to preserve the Midcentury soul of her Waco home as much as possible throughout the renovation. One way was through era-appropriate paint colors, like the living room’s green: Savannah Shade by Benjamin Moore to be exact. Modern furniture silhouettes and graphic textiles bring the space into the 21st century.

Designer Charlotte Lucas took a dramatic turn away from the pastels that fill the rest of this North Carolina home for the lounge. A high-gloss black covers the walls to heighten the Art Deco influence. Light ceilings and colorful furniture keep the dramatic hue from feeling too dark.

In British tastemaker Lucinda Chambers’ London home, she makes the boldest moves work, nonchalantly recalling when she painted her sitting room primary red and yellow based on her youngest son’s suggestion that it match his Lego bricks. For a bold, energetic living room paint color, try Clare Sriracha.
