Optical Illusions: Got a small room you wish was twice as big? Use paint to convey largeness, say the paint professionals at Canadian paint brand CIL. According to CIL, painting is the simplest and most economical way to make a small space appear larger. Not sure how this can be? Here are some tips:
- Draw the line. Paint a horizontal stripe around a small room to make it look deeper and wider.
- Be a colour schemer. Cool colours such as soft blues, purples and greens make smaller areas feel open and airy.
- Shed light on the subject. Assess the amount of natural and artificial light coming into the room. Good lighting makes paint colours appear lighter, so rooms that have a lot of natural light may tolerate a warmer hue.
- Avoid distractions. Paint the trim in a small room a different shade of the main colour so it will fade into the background. Also, use patterns sparingly.
