How to decorate a formal living room 
Go monochrome. 
Choosing decor in black, white, and gray gives the room a sophisticated look. It's a color scheme that's classy without being overbearing, and you can find a wide variety of decor to fit this scheme.

OPTIONS:
 --Tone done bold colors with white finishes. Bold colors may seem like too much for a formal living room, but they can work if you find the right accents.
 --The classic white saves you from yellows, greens, and blues; but it also takes you away from sophisticated drapes and carpets. Neutral colors like grey and brown would work well.
 --Gray is easier to work with, as it is less saturated and more contemporary than light brown, gray, and charcoal. Light gray brings out the bold nuances of contemporary living in a lovely, understated way.
 --For example, you can paint the walls a pale blue, or you can paint floor coverings and wallpaper the color of your living room walls a darker gray. These decorations won't completely alter how you see the room, but they can draw attention to space and make it more cohesive and cozy.
