Martha Stewart - 5 Paint Colors to Never Use in Your Living Room, According to Interior Designer →

Thank you to Martha Stewart and Blythe Copeland for this feature—I’m so excited to share my insights on creating warm, inviting spaces with your wonderful readers!

“You absorb energy from your room, and color matters,” she says. “There are many colors other than gray that work as a neutral base. These will bring energy, vibrancy, and warmth to your living room. Think creamy beige, warm blues and greens, caramel-y browns, or rich jewel tones.”

Skip cool white in favor of a neutral with depth and personality. “If you want that ‘gallery’ look and love all-white walls, then be sure you choose a white with warm undertones,” says Watts. “Whites with gray or blue undertones will make your space feel stark. Instead, look for a neutral with some cream or beige that feels warm and welcoming.”

"Traditional design emphasizes symmetry and order. It's typically harmonious and put together, but not overly fancy."
