Have you ever been stuck in a bedroom that has the potential, but is a bit too small? This blog will highlight the solutions of paint work to make your average bedroom bulkier in size, ranging from some of the brightest, neatest paint hacks you can find, and the tools you have at hand.


#1 Making a narrow space expand


There are two options. You can paint the far side wall in a contrasting colour to the adjacent panels, which will be in a lighter shade.


The other option is painting a single element like wall shelving, but leave everything else free of colour. This gives the rest of the space a lighter tone in comparison.


#2 How to make the height margin higher in a room


Paint your walls in a dark shade next to the floor and ceiling, which will be in a lighter shade. It is important to note that black isn’t essential.


Another method is putting a margin between the edge of the ceiling and further down in all angles. Then, colour this area in the same coat of paint to give the optimum visual effect.


#3 How to give depth


An illusional masterpiece by swapping the far wall in a lighter colour and the other walls in a darker colour is also very modern.


Black walls are ideal for dimension and depth to small spaces. This gives a particularly secluded effect, and is a method to lengthen slanted walls.


#4 Use painting techniques


You should stay with one colour. The theory is that too many colours, as opposed to one colour used, create boundaries which gives a constricted vibe.


One of the most recommended decisions is to also utilise striped painted patterns. Horizontal stripes will make the room appear longer, and vertical stripes will exude a taller room.

#5 Ways to elongate and stretch a space


Elongating a space will require the ceiling and the wall, being the corner panel, to be painted in a dark tone, and the other walls in a light tone.


It is also important to note that white is a good colour for the image of a bigger room.
