4 Outdated Colors Designers say you Should Steer Clear of When Decorating a Living Room

1. BEIGE

Beige has been an enduring living room color trends. Pleasant to live in, relaxing, easy to decorate around. But architect and interior designer Martha Franco thinks there are better, more modern alternatives out there. ’Beige was once a popular neutral, but it can often create a bland and uninspiring atmosphere,’ she says.

2. DEEP MUSTARD

Taking the conversation to the complete opposite end of the spectrum in terms of character, mustard definitely has plenty. Soo much character, in fact, that it maybe was consumed and gotten over too quickly.

3. PASTEL MINT

While decorating with pastels can feel refreshing in certain environments, and might look good in a kid's room, Martha thinks they should be avoided in a living room, especially when there are so many other, more natural and welcoming alternatives to opt for instead.

4. PURE WHITE

There was a time when a crisp, sparkling white was the epitome of modernity. Now it’s only reserved for trims or ceilings, and even then, a softer white usually with a tinted base picked up from the color scheme around it is much preferred.

‘While white is a classic color, using pure, stark white for all walls can create a clinical and sterile feel. This is a trend that has since passed,’ states Martha.
