How to Adjust Room Size Using Color
Jul 6 2011
Enlarge Your Space
To visually enlarge a space, paint walls, ceiling, and trim in the same light color. This technique reduces awareness of where walls, ceiling, and floor stop and start. The result is a visually larger space with less finite parameters. To maximize this effect, choose window and floor treatments to match the wall color.
Enclose Your Space
To visually enclose a space, contrast the color of the walls with the ceiling and trim. This emphasizes the finite dimensions of the room and highlights architectural features such as moldings, windows and doors, shelves, and fireplaces. In addition, choose draperies that contrast with the wall color to arrest the eye and keep the focus on the inside.
