3 Colour Rules For Small Spaces
The colors that decorate and paint the interior have great influence on the perceived space, know how to use them.
In small dwellings or small house divisions, the colors with which the interior is decorated and painted have great influence on the perceived space. Although space does not change, the color used in the decoration can make it appear larger or smaller. If you like 2 colors this does not mean that together they work together.
1- Keep things simple
The rule of keeping things simple is a rule in most cases, especially when it comes to decorating. In a small interior space, the rule is that you should avoid the complicated decoration to the maximum. On walls, ceilings, carpets and floors, do not use too bright colors, opt for light pastel colors, as neutral as possible. If you like, you can use one color for the walls and another for the ceiling. If you want to use rugs, carpets or carpet on the floor, choose something simple without decorative and neutral motifs, without major relief. Likewise, avoid the wallpaper with high standards, and opt for a neutral and simple wallpaper. All this to avoid drawing attention to the small size of the space.
2- Dark colors closer to the ground
If you choose several color or gradient color patterns, choose to make the colors darker below and the lighter colors closer to the ceiling. This includes the carpeting and the floor. If we are talking about a toilet that has tiles on the navy blue floor, those on the wall should always be lighter, a light blue, or a blue water may be the solution. The color scheme should always end with the white ceiling or in a lighter shade than all the ones used below. As a rule, spaces that have walls darker than the floor tend to look like bottomless bins.
3 - Always opt for colors that illuminate
The basic rule for decorating a small space is to keep it looking bright because dark spaces tend to look smaller than they actually are. The smaller the divisions of a house are, such as bathrooms / bathrooms, or smaller spaces such as the office, the more careful one should be in choosing the colors of the decor. There is no need to make them even smaller than they already are by painting them with dark colors. If you want to use multiple colors, make sure that the darker color is always in the lower part of the room and that the darker color is not the most dominant color in the space.
