What color should I paint a furnished basement that has no windows? The couch is navy blue and the rug is grey

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!What color should I paint a furnished basement that has no windows?

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.

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.
I'd go with a either a grain or water color from this site;

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


keep it bright
i'd do a yellow-orange mixed with quite a bit of white
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!
