What Paint Colors Make a Room Look Bigger?

Enjoying an airy, bright space is a matter of choosing the right color to enhance the light a room gets. Here are my top recommendations for paint colors that make rooms look bigger.

White

The safest option for small rooms is fresh, clean white, as it immediately creates the illusion of space and light.

Off-White

The latest interior trends are towards warmer neutrals, so embrace ivory, cream, and beige. You’ll still maximize the natural light but with a hint of warmth and depth.

Greige

I’m a massive fan of this beige-gray combination, with its lush putt-like tone that adds depth and light.

Gray

Continuing in popularity throughout our homes, gray remains a solid choice for smaller rooms, looking serene and anchoring any color palette or style.

Green

You’ve likely noticed green accents popping up in stylish interiors. All shades of this lush, natural color are in fashion and will enliven your living space.
