Wall colors for a room can make a big difference on how the space feels.
Light paint colors will make a room look bigger and brighter. Light walls with dark furniture allows your eye to travel through the room, making it seem more spacious. A darker wall color can create an illusion that makes a small space appear even smaller because of shadows the color creates.
Light wall colors can also trick you into thinking that a room is more in proportion with the rest of the home. White walls make rooms feel taller, while yellow walls can widen them.
Some light paint colors for your walls are:
– Baby blue
– Aqua
– Mint green
– Pale pink

Some dark paint colors can make your room feel smaller, if you use the wrong color! Darker wall colors can also make a room look smaller and darker. Shades of beige and brown can make a space feel cozy and warm, while black and dark colors can give it an intense mood.
Dark colors for your walls are:
– Black
– Dark grey
– Navy blue
– Burgundy
It’s better to use darker wall paints sparingly in small doses, but you can use all dark colors if you combine them with some light paint color. Dark and light colors balance each other out and brighten the space.
