Living room wall colors for dark wood floors.

One lovely option is to paint the walls pale blue with white trim hang warm bamboo shades and roll out area rugs in soft colors to define zones. This gorgeous modern living room features dark hardwood flooring that simultaneously contrasts and picks up some of the more orange tones of the wood of the entertainment center and the wall mounted television cabinet. Similarly to the green color on the wall the color blue can also make pairing the furniture and finishes fun picking contrasting or complimentary colors to the fabrics and finishes in the space can add the last needed thing to a room. Another way to work around too dark flooring is by covering up as much as possible using room size area rugs.

The dark wood floors of this modestly sized but comfortable living room are covered by a natural fiber area rug that lends a nautical feel to the blue and white color pallet. For more color you could choose the lightest shade of a color you like. This works best in low traffic areas like the bedroom. Light colored walls increase the visual size of a room and contrast with dark floors.

With the dark wood it is important to not select anything too dark or the room can seem small and uninviting. Walls can complement or contrast with a floor just as easily based purely upon your color selection. Advice would be much appreciated. If you want to balance your dark floors and create contrast white is a great choice.

I would also like an accent wall but have no clue what colour to choose.
