JAKARTA - There are several roads that are open to you when choosing colors at home. You can prioritize fun colors or choose bright colors. You can also use color to change your perspective indoors. This makes the smallest space feel wider.

"The clearest choice to make a small room look spacious is choosing a bright and neutral color like white," said Kelly Collins, interior designer and creative chief at Swyft Home, quoted by VOI from the Country Living page on Wednesday, November 20, 2024.

"Don't be afraid to stay away from the white wall. When decorating the house, we have long been educated with the idea that painting the wall in black or even blue will make the room feel small, but that doesn't always happen," he added.

According to him, choosing dark colors in the interior design palette actually creates a depth of perception. This helps disguise the fact that the room is on the small side. Here are 4 cat colors that make the small room look big.

White is the choice of a cat to make the small room look bigger. This color is very popular in the kitchen and bathroom, because the color looks cool and clean. This makes many people choose the color of the white cat on the wall of their house.

"We have seen such a change in how we want our home to be visible, felt, and functioning. We need our home to feel much wider, lighter and brighter," said Tom Howley, Design Director of an eponymous kitchen company.

"White kitchens do this perfectly, offer energy, transformative aesthetics to any space and master the art of illusion, making smaller rooms feel bigger," he continued.

Total Beesley, Head of Design in Magnet says if you don't want to choose all white, be careful with the contrasting color of walls and floors. The bigger the contrast, the smaller the room will look. Therefore, the best thing to do is match the color of the wall to the floor.

Using the yellow color on a small room has the same psychological impact as the visual impact. The bright yellow buttercup looks encouraging, so it can relieve impressive properties or claustrophobia from the room. There are several tricks to use yellow paint.

"Fire the ceiling with the same color as the wall will attract attention. This makes the ceiling look taller than it really is, making the whole room look bigger in the process," Kelly said.

Smart design tricks in a room face the garden or green plant area. Plus a combination of green plant colors with a room. There are various kinds of green colors. Colors that can enforce boundary lines on a room are green sage.

The use of green does not have to be on walls or floors, it can also be combined with other colors. However, the distribution is indeed the green sage color as the main color.

"With a hero's color about 60-70% of the scheme (Think of walls, floors, or large furniture) then the secondary color is about 20-30% (for example soft furniture) and the final accent color is about 10-5% (namely pillows, works of art, and vassels). You can add a neutral color with this, I call it a free color, and can be found on the wooden floor and furniture," said interior designer Sophie Robinson.

The color of the wall that does not react to sunlight will not be suitable for a narrow room. Colors such as dark greenish blue can warm and cool the room. Colors like this will turn on a small room, a nice additional color for a dressing room or bedroom.
