When it comes to colors that make a living room look more expensive, your mind likely goes straight to neutrals. White, beige, and gray all have a reputation for making rooms look and feel more elegant and luxurious. But they aren't the only options, say interior designers. In fact, when I asked what expensive-looking colors they rely on, I was pleasantly surprised to find the list was not restricted to neutrals.

When it comes to creating a living room color scheme that's elegant and elevated, right now, designers are in fact turning to bolder, richer shades. Far more exciting than the much-used gray and actually far more effective at making a living room feel expensive.
