6 Living Room Trends That Are Taking Over in 2023 – PureWow

In a departure from all-neutral palettes, colorful seating will be on full display in the living room, according to NYC-based designer, Crystal Sinclair . Dwellers have their eyes upon velvet sofas that come in a rainbow of hues, bright settees and antique armchairs.

So how can you pair colors like a pro? Stick with shades within the same family, like olive greens, golds and browns or team up opposing shades on the color wheel, like this vibrant amethyst and ochre duo. And if the idea of springing for an electric blue couch induces panic, Sinclair says throw pillows are a more approachable place to start.
