The living room is the heart of the home. It’s where people gather, unwind, and make memories—so color here should feel thoughtful, welcoming, and reflective of your personality.

Anyone who is looking to experiment with color will find a lot of comfort in a more muted hue. When Denver-based designer Nadia Watts was looking to create a living room that felt “both comfortable and classic,” she selected Book Room Red by Farrow & Ball. “It instantly added a sense of warmth and sophistication,” she explains. “To balance the richness of the color, I incorporated subtly patterned upholstery and neutral-toned fabrics, bringing depth and softness while keeping the overall look grounded and timeless.”
