The choice of color plays a decisive role both in how much it will make a room bright and in the aesthetics and perspective it will create in the space.
Appropriate color combinations can make a room of a few square meters appear larger by giving it height and/or length.
Avoid dark colors in rooms of a few square meters as they limit the view of the space as well as its brightness. However, a dark color option is preferred to enter walls with windows or patio doors.
Conversely, light shades create an illusion of a larger space. To avoid the risk of the room looking cold or monotonous, make the right choices in the furniture and also in the objects that surround the space.
Dare to combine two colors by matching one color to two walls and another color to another two walls. The meeting of shades in the corners will enlarge your space.
For a better result, combine warm with cool colors, thus ensuring color balance and harmony.
Recommended ceiling colors
Depending on the result you want to give, you can choose the corresponding technique.
Choose white shades on the ceiling to give a sense of size to the room, or on the contrary, neutral shades for the wall and a bright color on the ceiling to liven up a space. This choice will light up the space giving another perspective to the horizon with more depth and intensity.
For high-ceilinged rooms that you want to create the feeling of lower height, we recommend a dark color on the ceiling and light-colored walls.
Floor colors and color combinations
If your floor moves in dark shades, then the ideal combination would be light colors and soft colors for the walls, making your space look spacious.
Be careful if your floor is light then choosing a dark wall with all the other walls ranging in light shades will reduce the depth of the space making it appear smaller.
Advice! Avoid painting large areas or all the walls of a room with warm colors (red, orange, yellow) because they will limit the perspective and depth of the space, making it appear smaller.
Choose up to three color combinations to ensure harmony and balance in the space while making it appear cleaner and larger. Multiple color combinations in a space may bring the opposite.
