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. <\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n
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. This holds especially true if the small space happens to also be a bedroom. <\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n
Lighter walls and lighter floors are best for a small room. <\/p>\n
No Dull Colors \u2013 Opt for clear and sharp ones instead. <\/p>\n
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
Pick the color that\u2019s right for you. – Don\u2019t chose a shade just because it is in style. At the end of the day you\u2019re the one who has to spend time in this space, and if you don\u2019t like it that defeats the main purpose. As long as you feel happy and comfortable in the room that is all that matters. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
