Easy Ways To Use Paint To Make A Small Roomer Look Bigger

3/20/2019

 
PictureAn all-white room looks larger
One the biggest disappointments with rental properties are huge rent and little than ideal space. If this is your situation, you will be happy to know that there are creative ways to use paint to make a small room look bigger. While you could hire a Rochester painter, you can do the task yourself.

Calculated interior painting is one of the simplest ways to open up your space with little effort and money. Below are a few tricks you can utilize to make a room appear more spacious, all with smartly chosen patterns and shades. Regardless if you’re a complete minimalist or open to something colorful and vibrant, there’s a choice that will leave you feeling like your rooms are way bigger than you thought.

Keep it in the family
Painting details, trim, and walls in various shades from the same color hue, such as light blue or gray, will make your spaces appear bigger. You use a neutral color or go bold. 

Paint it black
It may seem counter-intuitive, but a tiny space is usually opened up by painting the walls black or another real dark shade.

All white everything.
If you’re not feeling the idea of painting your walls black or a really dark color, painting them pure white is a solid option. White reflects natural light, making a room seem airy. Make sure you use pure white, and you can add accent tones with your décor.

Accent wall
It's true that painting one wall in a bolder color than the others produces an optical illusion that there’s more space in the room. Also, this strategy creates an actual focal point, making arranging furniture and other decor pieces easy.

Raise the roof
Paint your ceiling a brighter color than the rest of your room, and it will appear like you have really high ceilings.
 
Stripes
Color blocking and stripes are the oldest tricks in the book when it comes to restructuring silhouettes. For your walls, you should try horizontal stripes. Pick a wall or two to stripe, and you’ll see them quickly lengthened. With painting, contrasting colors create depth.
