• Try to paint one wall in a vibrant colour scheme like orange or red or yellow.
• It is best to have the rest of the walls painted in light colours like white or ivory or lime yellow etc.
• You can have some accent colours added to the room environment. Hence use of bright blue/green etc in the cushion covers or lamp shades or curtains
• Try to have the colour of the furniture in soft colours like ivory/white tome if bright colours are every where.
• But if the colour scheme is light and sober and monochrome then there should be energetic colours and patterns in the furniture and soft furnishings.
• You can have a theme in your living room and paint one wall in green /blue and lots of green leaf/plant prints in the cushions and curtain covers.This will create a theme of a tropical forest with green and blue as the main imposing colours. There can be some plants/fountains to accessorize the theme of the room. Try to repeat the accent colours on pots, lamp shades, carpets to bring a sense of continuity in the room.
