Colonial Living Room Ideas
See what a colonial living room looks like — wing chairs, wainscot, colonial blue, brass — restyled from your photo, then viewed in 360°.
A sample living room restyled in Colonial. The room is AI-generated for this page, not a customer photo; your own room gets the same restyle.
A colonial living room is symmetrical and dignified: a fireplace in the middle, chairs on either side and everything at its proper distance.
What a colonial living room looks like
A pair of wing chairs or a camelback sofa in a small print or plain wool sits either side of a fireplace with a panelled surround and a simple mantel. Walls are painted historic blue, sage or cream above a wainscot, the floor is wide plank with a braided or Persian rug, and a tavern table or a pair of side tables holds candlestick lamps. Curtains are cotton in checks or plain linen, and framed samplers and portraits hang symmetrically.
Try it on your own living room
Upload a photo of your living room, restyle it in Colonial, and send the result to whoever shares the space as a which-one poll. Then step inside the winner in 360°. Your windows, fireplace and seating layout stay put; the upholstery, wall paint, braided rug, curtains and candle-style lamps are what change.
Details worth getting right
- Symmetry is the organising idea, so pair chairs, lamps and windows
- Wing chairs by the fireplace are the signature seating
- Historic paint colours give the room a period feel without any fuss
- A braided rug over wide planks is more authentic than wall-to-wall carpet
