Most people want their spaces to look bigger than smaller. There are some ways you can make a space seem bigger and it really is. There are many colors that are trendy this year, but this does not mean you should use them in your small spaces. If you want to make your space look bigger, choose white paint. Make sure to use an eggshell or satin finish which will reflect light. When light is reflected, it creates the appearance that a space is larger.
Even if you pick white, not all white shades are the best. It can be a challenge to pick which hue is right. A perfect choice is white paint in a soft shade that has warm undertones. This hue will add brightness to any space. Remember to test your white paint in your space to see how it reflects the light. If white is too sterile, then a pale lavender or cooler tones can also make a space feel open and airy.
A trend that has become very popular is painting the ceiling a dark color. You do not want to do this if you want your space to look larger than it really is. If your walls are in a light tone, paint the ceiling the same color which will make the room seem bigger.
A larger room nowadays looks great with dark trim on lighter walls, but this does not deem true for a smaller space. Painting the trim the same color as the walls can trick the eye to help the space look bigger. You do not want any visual distractions. Another example is not to paint one wall a different color than the others in a small space.
Remember strong bright bold colors will always make a space feel smaller. Go for light, airy tones to make your space feel open and bright.
