Color trends come and go, but some colors have stood the test of time If you are unsure about what color to choose, consider some of these tried and true interior paint colors for your project.<\/p>\n<p>If you have an <a href=\"https:\/\/certapro.com\/indianapolis\/residential-painting\/interior-house-painting\/\">interior painting project<\/a> for a small room in your future, there are plenty of colors you can use in a small space that will make them look and feel bigger, and fit right in with your interior design.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Eggshell<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>White is known as a good option for small rooms, it can and does make a small room feel bigger and more inviting.<\/strong> Sometimes however, white can make a room appear brighter than desired.\u00a0 Eggshell offers a compromise of a light room with less reflective properties as straight white painted walls. Eggshell colors remove the intensity, and soften shadows. Its a good safe option that can add space and warmth to a small room.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Teal<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Sometimes rules have more exceptions than we can even mention. Such is the case with paint colors and small rooms.<\/strong> Many interior painting experts will tell you to avoid dark colors in small spaces because they effectively reduce the appearance in size. However, if you choose paints with the right undertones, darker colors can actually make the room look bigger. A deep, not-too-dark, blue-green hue like teal can mask shadows and create the perception of depth you\u2019re looking for.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Beige<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>It\u2019s hard to go wrong with a neutral color in. If you want to keep things simple with interior painting without having to resort to the starkness of white, beige can be just the right fit.<\/strong> These are colors that have been proven to set the perfect tone for whatever design inspiration you want to apply in a room. Rich, subtle tones like beige or taupe have the potential to make a room look bigger and feel more elegant, without much effort.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Yellow<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Be advised that every yellow won\u2019t work. This cheerful shade can often be too overwhelming on the eyes, especially in a small room.<\/strong> A toned down shade like lemon, however, can add a welcoming feel to your space. Without being too harsh on the eyes, the right shade of yellow creates a light and airy atmosphere, and the perception of a bigger room.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Dark Navy<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>We\u2019re breaking the dark colors rule once more. If you have a room that receives little to no natural light, a dark navy shade can create the perception of depth<\/strong> and stature you\u2019re looking for. Dark hues like this, paired with furniture of similar shades, can allow for lines and edges to blur, making the room feel more elegant, and far bigger.<\/p>\n<p>If you still need help choosing colors to make your space look bigger, call us at <a href=\"tel:317-252-0334\">317-252-0334<\/a> schedule a free, <a href=\"#estimate\">no-obligation estimate<\/a> with an expert, and find the one you\u2019ll love for years to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Choosing colors is often one of the most difficult decisions to make when painting the interior of your home.
