Do you have a room in your home with no natural light? You may feel stumped as to which paint colors to use to enhance the room. The right interior painting can transform the space. Follow the tips below to choose the best color for the situation.

Best Interior Painting Choices for Windowless Rooms

Using Light Colors

Most people assume that a small or dark space will benefit from light interior paint. This isn’t always true. Light colors work well in small spaces with vibrant carpets or flooring. If the room has certain architectural features, such as a brick fireplace, it will often benefit from light colors. Choose a creamy white, light gray, pale blue, or subtle yellow. Use just one color or create a feature wall. Remember that light paint in a plain, small room with no distinctive artificial lighting or features may look lighter, but dull.

Using Dark Colors

The time to use darker colors in low-light rooms is when the room and furnishings aren’t distinctive or if you’re relying on one overhead light. This is often the case with basement remodels or small bathrooms. Dark colors can make these spaces more interesting. Ochre, chocolate brown, dark gray, or a warm orange can visually support a dark room, especially if you add table lamps with warm white shades. Accent lighting can make darker colors seem cozy, intimate, and attractive. This effect works well for a study, den, library, and sometimes family rooms or bedrooms, depending on the size of the room and your personal style.
