Multi-use spaces often get a bad reputation as challenging to decorate, but this grey and blue living room gets it right. The flowing, abstract rug pattern adds a ribbon of blue to set the tone for the rest of the space, giving it a relaxed and calming look against the warm grey floor. We love the blanket ladder by the home office area in this living room, making this nook feel cozier and more welcoming. And don't forget the pops of blue in the throw pillow arrangement and shelf accents.
This contemporary living room features light blue undertones with plenty of contrast created by dark grey and black accents. The large area rug adds intricate details and an understated blue colorway while anchoring the furniture in the seating area. And the dark grey mantle around the fireplace adds instant contrast at the center of the room. This contrast continues with the sofa, the coffee table base, and even the frames of the accent chairs. Recreate the look by adding a sizeable light-blue area rug to a space decorated primarily in black or charcoal grey, white, tan, and ivory.

This modern grey and blue living room features a lovely earthy neutral palette that would look spectacular on its own. The space is beautifully designed, from the natural and grey-toned area rug to the grey sofa with earthy neutral accents, all the way up to the shelves and marble-style mantle.

It's a combination found everywhere in nature that the ground meets the sky, so it's naturally soothing. Here, we see the abstract area rug setting the palette for this seating area.

With a vivid blue area rug adding traditional styling to the space, this chic living room makes excellent use of both warm and cool hues. The rose gold accent table and tan throw pillows complement the wood floor, while the blue accent pillows gracefully continue the palette.

Notice the variety of textures, from the shag rug to the faux fur blanket, tasseled lumbar pillow, eye-catching pouf, and tufted sofa cushion.
Moody and modern, this living room makes great use of blue and grey accessories to create a cozy and welcoming seating area. We love the abstract artwork, adding a touch of black.

And don’t forget the array of textures and patterns found in the pillow and throw arrangement on the sofa, adding variety for visual interest.
Larger living rooms allow more space for guests as well as extra design potential. Here, the large area rug makes excellent use of the square footage in this space, holding all flour legs of the furniture for a grounded appeal.

Yellow goes well with blue and grey living rooms, making an eye-catching accent and giving your space a professional feel. It's important not to overdo it with the touches of yellow—in this room, yellow is confined to the throw blanket and artwork on the wall. Notice how the space reflects the palette used in the painting. The addition of grey with the sofa and window treatment adds an in-between, keeping the look balanced and modern instead of overwhelming.
This lovely seating area has an instant cozy appeal thanks to the fireplace and plush accent chair.
