7. Add Warm Lighting
Lighting has the power to make or break a neutral living room. Warm lighting enhances the cozy and inviting atmosphere that neutral colors are known for. Choose lamps with soft white or warm yellow bulbs instead of cool white.
Layer your lighting by combining ceiling fixtures with table lamps, floor lamps, and wall sconces. A statement chandelier in muted gold or brushed nickel can become a centerpiece, while smaller accent lights create cozy corners for reading or relaxing. Candles in neutral holders are another way to add warmth and ambiance.
