Blue and Yellow Living Room Ideas

Blue and yellow are two colors that are growing in popularity thanks to their many shades and tones. When they're paired together, they can complement modern, traditional, vintage, and other popular styles. Looking for inspiration for using these colors in your home? Check out our best blue and yellow living room ideas along with guidelines on how to use these colors to their maximum potential.

Simple Opportunities

If you use a simple cream sofa as the main furniture of your room, then you can use more bold accents to bounce off that simple furniture. Abstract contemporary rugs or rugs with unique designs can add visual interest to your room and make the space feel more interesting without adding clutter.

Neutral Leanings

Any blue and yellow tones in your living room don't have to loudly proclaim those colors. Instead, you can use neutral tones like cream and grey to subtly lean into yellow and blue respectively. That will give your room a more dynamic color scheme while still remaining more neutral than it would otherwise.

A Rug's Purpose

Living room area rugs serve many purposes, but in this case, the rug is especially important in setting the living area apart as a specific section in this open concept home. In addition to that, area rugs can also inspire the color scheme of the living room and subtly connect it stylistically to neighboring spaces like kitchens or dining rooms.

Contemporary Aesthetics

More traditional or restrained interior design styles often have neutral furniture and add color in smaller accents. However, going bold with a colored sofa, side chair, or other piece of furniture can help you boldly proclaim your color palette and show off a more modern aesthetic.

Balance

Balance is important in designing any space, but it is especially important in open floor plans where multiple areas are all in the line of sight. If you follow this room's example and use bright colors in the living room, then you may want to utilize more subdued or neutral colors in adjacent spaces to make the living room stand out and ensure that the room doesn't feel overstimulating.

Mustard Yellow

Yellow can be a daunting color to work with. If it's too bright, it may read as too youthful or childish. Too dull and it has minimal impact. Mustard yellow is one color that strikes a happy middle ground by highlighting a versatile shade of yellow that works well with other colors, especially blue.

Bountiful Blues

In order to create an organic, homey room, it's important to use color in unique and personal ways. This gives you the freedom to add in blue and yellow in various materials, fabrics, and finishes to diversify the room's design. As long as the colors generally convey the same tone, using different shades is actually a natural way to create a visually interesting, dynamic design.

Color and Pattern

Using multiple colors and shades can create a visually distinct room, but so can experimenting with patterns. Consider adding patterns in small accents like pillows and blankets at the start, and then be more adventurous with patterns in chairs, rugs, and curtains.

Tasteful Tradition

Although traditional interior design styles often use beige and cream tones, modern blues and yellows can still be used in these spaces to modernize the design. A vibrant blue area rug like the one shown here is merely one example of how a modern shade can be combined with classic patterns and furniture.

Abstract

Contemporary living room rugs tend to feature abstract designs or unique patterns to create an artistic impression. This blue, yellow, and gold area rug is a prime example of contemporary design and it highlights how impactful a bold rug can be in small living rooms.

Additional Considerations

Blue and yellow work wonderfully together, but if you're looking to add another color into the mix, consider gold. Gold can add richness to the color scheme and elevate the room's tone to be more elegant and upscale.

A Great Start

Designing a room from scratch is daunting. Starting with a favorite work of art, rug, or pattern can jumpstart the design process and give you guidance in all the furniture and decor you add into the room. In this case, the living room wall art serves to capture the entire modern aesthetic and establish the room's overarching color scheme.

Consider colorful pillows, vases, books, and area rugs as accents you can rotate in and out of your room depending on the season or as you continue to develop your personal style.

No Limitations

Blue, yellow, and neutral tones are often the most common color palette for today's living rooms. But there are plenty of ways to play with those three colors and incorporate even more. While this area rug simply adds in red and gold, you'll find other modern rugs add a range of colors that can make your blue and yellow living room even more stunning and expressive.


Blue and yellow living rooms are as diverse as they are beautiful. Whether you're looking to create something highly contemporary, boho, coastal, or more traditional, these colors can be altered to suit your style and add flair to your home.
