Using Color to Change the Size of a Room

Using Color to Change the Size of a Room

Do you want to lower your ceiling, but don’t want to employ a builder?
Then don’t, employ a painter instead!
By painting your ceiling a dark color you automatically perceive that it is lower.

That is because dark colors advance. So of course to make your ceiling appear higher, paint it in a light color – preferably white!
It seems so simple and it is.
In general to make walls advance towards you, paint them a dark color. To make them recede away from you, paint them a light color.
If you have a rectangular room and want to make it look more square, then paint the two smaller end walls a darker color and have the long walls a light color. This will bring the end walls forward and make the room appear more symmetrical.
If you want to create a cosy room, choose a warm dark color. This will make the space feel warm and the dark color will enclose the room making it feel intimate.
To make a large open and spacious room, white (or as light as possible) would be the best choice, as white reflects light and the room appears larger. Changing the perception of a room’s size is easy!
