Small rooms can often be the trickiest to design, and a big part of this is getting the right color palette. When dealing with these pocket-sized proportions, we naturally lean towards light colors such as white, pale gray, or a soft beige, assuming these will open up the space.
However, despite light colors traditionally being the default here, it's actually the opposite that tends to ring true. Lighter shades aren't always the best colors to make a small room look bigger. Darker, richer shades can make these compact spaces feel larger and more intentional, along with adding depth and personality to overlooked corners of the home.
