There are many pretty colors and that attract sunlight to paint your living room: brown, beige, gray ... if you have dark furniture, like brown or black and you want a decor elegant and contemporary, I'll explain how to get it.
For light up your room, I suggest you paint the walls in Light colors, since if you do it in dark tones, you will make your room too gloomy. Choose a white or cream color, such as light beige, since a very dark shade will absorb light instead of reflecting it.
Finally, choose decorative accessories and textiles in muted tones, so it will match perfectly with the rest of the decoration of the room.
