Smaller spaces feel more intimate and cozier and this is the perfect situation we want for living room. However, the paint color you choose for a small space can make or break it. <strong>CertaPro Painters\u00ae of Ellicott City<\/strong> has painted many living rooms of all sizes and we noticed a few colors that should be avoided in small spaces. Keep reading to find out the paint colors you should avoid when it comes to small living rooms.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Red- This color is too intense for a small space. It will leave people feeling overwhelmed or even uncomfortable. You can use it as an accent color but don\u2019t go overboard with it.<\/li>\n<li>White \u2013 A lot of people will say this is the best color to paint a small space because of the fact white paint can brighten up a space. Although this might be true, it can also emphasize the box shape of the room making shadows and corners stand out. Designers suggest a dark charcoal gray shade instead.<\/li>\n<li>Orange \u2013 Bright colors are a bold choice whether the room is large or small. But painting a small room orange can actually make it look like cheap and bounce light in an undesirable way.<\/li>\n<li>Yellow &#8211; Yellow is nice to use as an accent color, but you might not want to use it on the walls of a small room. It is overwhelming and should be used in moderation.<\/li>\n<li>Dark Shades &#8211; Lighter walls and lighter floors are best for a small room.<\/li>\n<li>No Dull Colors \u2013 Opt for clear and sharp ones instead.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Pay attention to the undertones. \u2013 If a paint as a colored undertone this will be obvious in a small space. For example, if you pick a gray shade that has a pink undertone, the pink will show and could clash with the other d\u00e9cor you have in the room. Make sure to test it out before you paint the entire room.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to schedule an estimate for your living room painting project, contact us today.
