Paint Colors for Small Rooms

Small spaces are often thought to be troublesome challenges for design. And to avoid the trouble of choosing the wrong color, they are often just painted white. But there’s no need to fear or be restricted! There are plenty of paint colors you can give to a small, cozy space that will make them feel more spacious and in line your design plan.

White

Eggshell

White is a popular color for small spaces because the bright shade will always make a room look bigger. However, it can often be too bright and at the same time cast shadows in corners. Eggshell white takes a bit of that intensity away, while adding the warmth every cozy space could use, and still giving the brightness you seek.

Colors

Beige

A neutral color will always work in a room of any size. They’re tried and true shades that can set the perfect background for whatever design elements you decide to showcase without distracting from them. If you want to keep things simple without having to turn to white, beige can be just the right fit.

Brown

If it’s warmth you’re looking for, look no further. Rich, earthy browns, while bold for some, can create a feeling of intimacy many desire in a tiny space. Your room will feel sophisticated, without being too stuffy.

Teal

We’re often told to stay away from dark colors in small spaces because they practically make them shrink. But oftentimes, and using paints with the right undertones, dark colors can save the day. Without being too dark, a deep, blue-green hue like teal can camouflage shadows and create a perception of depth.

Yellow

Now, we don’t mean just any yellow, which is rightfully notorious for being too overwhelming for a small space. If you would like to add a friendly sunshine feel to your small space, opt for a toned down shade. A color like lemon will add the brightness you desire to bring to a small space without being too harsh on the eyes.

Orange

We’ve been warned that bold, in-your-face colors will never work because they are always too intense. But the truth is, with the right artificial lighting and wall décor, the right orange can be the best choice to liven up often forgotten or avoided corners of your home.
