When choosing paint colors for our homes, the first color combinations that come to the majority of people’s minds is either blue and white or black and white. And while those color palettes are timeless and classic, there is plenty of other unusual and sophisticated color combination to choose from. Monochromatic rooms may as well be soothing, but it’s a room with a striking combination of sophisticated paint colors that keeps us enchanted.
The living room above has a very soothing yet vibrant color combo. Yellow curtains, army green chairs mingle with beige and black, making this room perfect for either night or day entertaining.

I heard Miles Redd once saying that sometimes he chooses the colors in a room from the carpet. I suppose that was the case in the room above where he mixed blue brown and leopard, creating a uber elegant space. See the rest of this Atlanta home here.
One of the best and most reassuring ways to create a sophisticated space is by using muted saturated colors. This room above has a very unique color palette that ranges from green, ecru, gray and black.
Pink and green, two nature-inspired colors, are the main color combo for the bedroom above. The black and white striped rug serves as a bold base to tie the entire room together.

Who says that blue and green don’t look great together? It’s a very unusual color mix, but it’s a powerful color combination that is elegant and casual at once. The entire ambiance of the room is sophisticated and warm, something that would not be possible if the walls were painted in white instead of gray.

Gray is one of the best neutral colors ever. Its undertones can range from green to pink, and there is always a tone of gray that would go well with any other color. Take this room, for example; a couple of different gray tones is mixed with ecru, white and dark wood tones smartly creating a space that is both elegant and unique.
