Interior designers suggest using lighter paint colors—soft whites, creamy beiges, or warm greiges—to make rooms appear larger and more open.
These lighter shades effectively reflect natural light, creating an airy atmosphere and minimizing the feeling of cramped spaces.
Subtle shades of pale blue or green can also work wonders, providing a refreshing and spacious feel without being overwhelming.
A clever technique involves painting the ceiling a slightly lighter shade than the walls, creating an illusion of higher ceilings and amplified space.
