Along with pairing the right furniture with a smaller interior, paint choices can have a major impact on the final outcome. Certain colours or shades of paint have a way of making a space feel larger than it actually is. Other colours or shades are the ideal choice for making a small room cozier and more welcoming.
If you have a small room or space that you’ve considered getting painted, you may have asked yourself “what colour should I paint a small room?” The interior painters at Encore Painting along with our friends at Creative Staging & Organizing have highlighted the basics for you.
Below, you’ll find colour suggestions and tips on how to choose the right paint colour for your small room or space, regardless of the look you’re after. Read on for our colour choices to paint a small room, including shades from Benjamin Moore and Sherwin Williams.
Best Light Colours to Paint a Small Room
Our favourite light paint colours to paint a small room are listed below:
Chantilly Lace OC-65 – Benjamin Moore: This popular shade of white is one of our favorite shades to use on a small room or space. It is crisp, yet soft shade that incorporates warm tones to give your space a light, airy feel.
Edgecomb Grey HC – 173 – Benjamin Moore: This bestselling shade (also used in the above photo) provides the right amount of warm undertones, making it a top choice for painting experts and interior designers. It’s a versatile option that will not only make a small room look larger, but will also withstand the test of time.
Tradewind SW 6218 – Sherwin Williams: This airy hue delivers a delightfully enveloping feeling, and creates a rich glow for any small room or space. We especially love how easily light bounces off this colour; it provides an intensely flattering background that pairs well with even the most unique furniture.
Best Dark Colours to Paint a Small Room
Our favourite dark paint colours to paint a small room are listed below:
Polo Blue 2062-10 – Benjamin Moore: This darker hue does an exceptional job of blurring the lines of corners, making it an excellent choice for an accent wall. We love using dark paint colours paired with lighter wall shades or furniture to layer a room without creating any clutter.
Onyx 2133-10 – Benjamin Moore: This velvety dark colour creates a canvas of consistency for any small room or space. We recommend using this shade in a room paneling or woodwork. When the woodwork or paneling in a small room is painted the same color as the walls, the ceiling seems higher because there are less horizontal lines cutting through.
Salty Dog SW 9177 – Sherwin Williams: This rich shade of blue is the perfect tone to give any small room or space peace, balance and serenity. Not only do we love it for its calming vibes, but it can also make a bold statement when paired with lighter toned furniture. Win-win if you ask us!
