Designing a house to make it fit your style and needs can be challenging for most people. However, with the help of tips and guidelines, one can play around with colors and textures to get whatever they need for their spaces and homes.
Colors play a major role in changing the outlook of space as they can visually stretch a small space. The following are ways in which choosing and using the correct color can make a small living room look bigger than it is.
1. Use soft shades
Considering how your room is is equally important. If it receives a lot of natural light, using softer colors can be extremely helpful. Colors such as celadon, off-white, mocha, and robin’s egg blue.
One could paint the ceiling the same and look for ways to draw eyes to the fullness of the space. Maybe your curtains or shade are a stronger tone of the same hue and are mounted right at the ceiling and cascade to the floor. “Little rooms, whether light-bathes or dar, need a little drama to compete,” says an interior designer.
2. Make the room airy with white
Most people often settle for white while designing small living rooms, however, using it wisely is key.
According to an expert, white is the classic color for making a place look bigger as it reflects light and creates a blank canvas that you can decorate with other colors. Used plainly, it can be boring therefore it is advisable to add some warmth and color to the white wall by choosing a shade that has some undertones of yellow, pink, or gray.
3. Opt for complementary color scheme
Consider using the color wheel to create a simple complementary color scheme to make your small living room look bigger. Light and airy colors coordinate well and leave a small room feeling more spacious.
One can experiment with patterns of different scales to create a sense of balance. For example, when using wallpaper with a small, detailed print, you could balance out the room by integrating a rug with a larger, more simplified pattern.
4. Focus on light colors
White isn’t the only option when it comes to space-stretching pale shades. Light colors often make a room look bigger.
5. Use dark colors strategically
Dark colors such as charcoal gray, navy blue, forest green, or black, can make your space look bigger if used well.
They can create contrast and depth that make your walls recede and your ceilings appear higher. You can use dark colors on an accent wall, a ceiling, or a floor to create this effect.
