Game of contrasts
How you can play with paint colors to enlarge a room. What colors to use for a room of few square meters?
To enlarge a room, you can play with colors of the walls, focusing on the contrasts. Choose a dark color at the back of the room to give depth and a light color at the sides. In fact, dark colors add depth, as they are very dense and absorb light. Do not choose a color for too high because in one room, you may get bored, get excited and want to go against the rest in this room. Do not paint a single wall (the largest room) in light chocolate, brown, gray or beige.
Another possibility for enlarge a room is to create a base with a height of one meter that will be painted in a more intense color than that of the walls. This will give you the impression of a larger piece: plum down and powder pink top for a girl's room or gray, blue and pearl gray background above base bar for a boy. Many possible color combinations - unleash your creativity!
