Stop feeling claustrophobic in your work space. No matter the size of the room, some painting creativity can really give the appearance of an open environment. Choosing a lighter color can help maximize the light in the room. White works well, but you could also go for a grey, blush or pastel color. A paint with more of a glossy finish will also do wonders in reflecting light and giving the appearance of space.
Make sure you don’t make the mistake of forgetting the ceiling. A darker ceiling color can make a room feel smaller by making the ceiling seem closer. Contrasting the ceiling color a bit lighter than the walls will create a lengthening effect everyone will notice and enjoy.
No need to shy away from all dark colors though. Painting an accent wall in a darker, stand out color, can also help create the illusion of more room. An accent wall breaks up the space, making it feel bigger. Accent walls can be a simple as painting one wall, but choosing the right wall to accent is imperative to the outcome of your project.
