Lets take a look at some light bright living rooms:

Soft pink, peach and beige. Here is a good balance between pattern and monochromatic, making the room interesting but not intense.

Soft blue, crisp white and a light grey. This classic room is modernized by adding mirror tables. I would never get tables like that, look at all the finger prints…ugh.

Cream and white. Otherwise, the room is nice.
