1. OFF-WHITE
White is the go-to color when looking to make a living room feel bigger thanks to its excellent light-reflecting qualities. But it's important you choose a warm hue and the right accessories so the space doesn't feel stark or sterile.
2. BLUSH PINK
A blush pink living room is a soft, warm and elegant choice that some see as more inviting than a white living room.
3. SOFT GREY
A grey living room is always a serene and airy option, particularly in a north facing living room.
4. LIGHT BLUE
Because it contains a large mix of white, a soft blue has great light-reflecting qualities to help open up a space.
5. BEIGE
'Pale neutrals create an airy, open feeling in any room in the home,' says Neale Whitaker, interior design expert at King Living. And it's not just the color of the walls that can affect the feel of the space. Neale suggests choosing neutral furniture, too, for a cohesive, tranquil space that feels light and airy.
