Tying the colorful lights into the painting is such a brilliant idea! You'll notice that the reason the lighting and art can be fun and colorful is that the walls, furniture, and ceilings are neutral. If you're feeling like your living room could use a new look, it's much easier to get new art, lighting, and decor than in it is to paint and get new furniture. Keep your options open by sticking with fairly neutral colors on elements that are more difficult and expensive to change.
