If your home contains any particularly small areas, painting offers an excellent way to make them look more open. Color choice, in particular, has the power to provide the illusion of more space throughout a property. Here are a few clever ways to use paint to your advantage.

How Can Painting Make Rooms Look Larger?

Choose Whites & Contrasts

Bright white and off-white paint colors are some of the best options for making your space appear cleaner and roomier. Select a tone from this palette for your walls, then paint the trim a slightly lighter shade. Doing so will create contrast and give the walls more depth. Decorate an accent wall with mirrors to open up the space even further.

Use Accent Colors

Accent colors are perfect for offsetting bright whites. They widen the appearance of the space while also making it look more interesting. Select a wall furthest from the doorway and paint it a muted orange, indigo, or gray. In conjunction with the lighter walls, accent colors will make the room look deeper and give it more energy.

Go With a Cool Palette

If you opt out of whites and accent colors, any combination of cool hues is an excellent substitute. Hazel, alabaster, smoke, and foggy tones offer just enough color while still providing a sense of spaciousness. Keep your ceilings, baseboards, and crown molding white or off-white to make this effect even more dramatic.
