The only restrictions are the navy blue leather couch and the carpet which is a light grey. There are no windows so I don't want it to look too small or have the color be too overwhelming. Any suggestions? I thought maybe a yellow or orange type of color but I can't really decide!

You're going to want to brighten up the room, try a yellow or even yellow-beige (Tuscany yellow) if your not in to plain yellow. You could go with a very bight white, but i personally a hint of color always makes things brighter. Pale orange is a nice alternative as well, but you have to be careful with orange. You don't want it to feel like your inside fruit!

I would lean towards the light tans, creams and maybe a pale yellow. Look at the pictures or paintings you are going to hang in your living room. Is there a color that pops for you. Also you need to think about the rug on your floor use it for a color. If you have a berber rug in a sand color go a shade lighter for the wall. Pick a few pillows out and choose a color from them that will tie the room together. Also when putting up curtains or window treatments keep these colors in mind. You can make the room seem much bigger when blending the curtains and wall color together.

I like your idea of yellow. It will make the room seem sunny and bright and you need that without windows. Choose a very light shade. Yellow, more than any other color, intensifies when put on the wall. You might consider making "fake windows". Go to a thrift store and buy old window frames. The bigger the better. Paint them.Then buy a beautiful scenic poster to staple behind the frame. Hang and you have an instant window with a view. You could even change the posters for the different seasons. Have fun!

I think white is a good color for a room such as this. Your furniture and rug are dark...you don't have any windows...definitely go with white to bring some needed air to the space. If you must have color, think about making an accent wall, stripe or border with a color, since you've got a grey and navy...try a nice slate for accent, it's a very rich and tasteful color.

A medium blue-grey shade would be nice, or a golden yellow earth tone.
