Breathe more space into your small room with one of these colours.

Have a room in your home that feels a little too cramped? You're going to want to find a space-enhancing paint colour. These shades reflect light, create a sense of calm, and embrace a sense of timelessness.

5 paint colours to make small rooms look bigger & brighter

1. Beige

No, beige doesn't have to be boring! Some shades are actually highly reflective and can provide a sunny disposition.

Try: Rivers Edge 7517 by Sherwin-Williams

2. Light blue

Airy colours bring a sense of space into a confined area. Clean and crisp blues will shine brightly in any room

Try: Clear Skies 2054-70 by Benjamin Moore

3. Pale Yellow

Delicate and cheerful, soft yellow brings a beautiful brightness to a room. Whether used as an accent or for a complete look, shades of buttermilk will energize your space.

Try: Pearly White M270-1 by Behr

4. Earth Tones

This terracotta colour brings an easy-going vibe to any room. Used as an accent wall colour, it'll pull focus to a farther focal point and create space.

5. Green

Lighter greens are best for a whole room with windows (you'll get a lot of reflection from sunshine) and a deep green makes for the best accent wall. If going light, choose a hue with a silvery sheen, like above.
