1. OFF-WHITE
White, or off-white, is often suggested as the top color that makes small living rooms look bigger as it's the shade that boasts the highest level of light-reflecting qualities.
2. BEIGE OR TAUPE
'Using a light, neutral palette is a tried and trusted way of creating a space that feels calm and elegant,' says Neale Whitaker, interior design expert and King Living spokesperson.
3. LIGHT GRAY
A light gray sofa is a good choice if you're looking for subtle color that still boasts some of the light-reflecting qualities of white.
4. YELLOW
While it's largely suggested that lighter colors will add to the feeling of openness in a room, lovers of bolder color will be pleased to that there is an argument to suggest that a stronger shade will visually draw attention away from the size of the room.
5. BLUE
Dark blue sofas are hugely popular in modern interior design for a reason: they're smart, elegant, trendy and timeless.
