Color is a great way to create optical illusions that can make a house feel more inviting. Use lighter colors to make a small space seem larger. If you want to make a room look smaller and cozier, then paint it a darker, warmer color. If a room is long and narrow, painting the walls at either end a darker, warmer color will draw the ends to the center of the room, giving it more of a square look.
Walk through your home and take note. Are there rooms that could use paint to maximize their appeal?
A coat of paint can minimize a room’s potential shortcomings by making a room seem larger, a ceiling higher or a hallway longer. Paint is also a great way showcase a room’s qualities.
