Painting: the optical effects that define or redefine a room

Expand the space

In a cramped room, it is best to use only white paint for the walls and ceiling. White attracts light which is beneficial for a narrow room. In addition, white gum room boundaries, which gives us the impression of being in a room more wide. To better accentuate the desired optical effect, it is preferable to have white soil.

Lower the ceiling

With a high ceiling that we want to lower by optical effect, clear walls and floor should be used for a colored ceiling dark. Consider incorporating LED spots or other types of ceiling lamps so that it does not darken the room. In addition, a dark painting that reflects the light would be better.

Stretch the piece up

If on the contrary, the part appears short, the best is to paint the walls with a dark color. As for the ceiling and the floor, paint them white. As the dark color dominates in this case, remember to light the room well.

Highlight a particular corner

When we want to highlight a particular corner (the fireplace, stairwell, office area, headboard, living room, etc.) you just have to paint the corresponding wall section. Make sure you take a color that you can associate with your highlight colors, that is to say with the colors of your furniture, etc.

Extend the room

To lengthen a room, the best thing to do is to paint the two side walls which go in the direction of the desired elongation.

Expand a room and better enhance the furniture
