How Paint Color Can Change The Perceived Size Of A Room

Picture
In many ways it goes without saying, but paint color selection is extremely important as far as creating a feel or atmosphere in a particular room. That’s part of the reason color section is so important - it can be the difference between a room feeling comfortable or relaxed and feeling a little awkward.
Interestingly, picking certain colors and lighting can give a room the appearance of being much larger or smaller than it is, which can help add to the comfort levels. This article will discuss just a few of the ways this can be achieved, something to think about if you are doing interior painting.


Ideal Shades For Smaller Rooms

A common question from homeowners is how to go about decorating a small room in a way that makes it feel bigger. Generally, cool, light tones and shades are the way to go, not only because they make the best use of any natural light that enters the room, but because they have a ‘receding’ quality that visually opens the room up. Something to think about is that in smaller rooms, you want to maximize natural lights as much as possible and avoid using a number of different shades. Using just one makes it difficult for the eyes to recognize the room’s edges.

Making A Long Room Look Shorter

There’s no doubt that large, long rooms can be problematic, particularly when they’re main use is for entertaining. A popular way of dealing with this is to separate the room in some way; folding screens, bookcases or shelving are just a few of the ways. Picking out the right colors can also help. Darker colors and warm shades on the most remote and distant wall can have an effect of making it seem much closer, especially if the walls adjacent (the longer walls) are painted in lighter colors.

High ceilings are generally preferred; in fact, studies have shown that rooms with higher ceiling can help make us think in a more open minded way.  Ultimately, more space is generally a good thing as people don’t like to be confined.  You can make a low ceiling seem higher by using the same bright colors on the walls and ceiling. This has the optical effect of blurring the line somewhat between where the wall ends and the ceiling begins. If it suits the aesthetic of your room, you can also have a mirror on the ceiling. For more information on wall painting, don’t hesitate to contact: Crews Painting Professionals Inc.

This is true. Lighter shades makes the space look more bigger, very ideal for those who have actually small area.

It helped when you discussed that light tones and shades are the best color option to make a small room feel bigger. My friend wants to ensure that their commercial place is painted in a way that is attractive to clients. I think they should hire an interior commercial painting contractor that can execute their desired outcome.

I want to make my living room seem bigger. It's interesting that different colors can add the illusion of a bigger room! It would definitely be worth it to get a professional painter to help me out with this.

I appreciate that this post reminded us to choose the colors wisely as it can impact the size of the room. Since my dad is planning to have his house painted, I do believe this tip will serve him well. I will definitely look at the sizes and help him choose the right colors.
