Being afraid of the dark

Being afraid of the dark

Often we're told to paint a small room white or pastel to make the space appear larger and that dark colours will make it feel smaller. While this theory does work, at times, dark colours can actually make your room appear bigger, just in a different way. Dark tones will absorb light, rather than reflect it – this adds depth and shadowing to your room, blurring the edges of the walls, which can give the illusion of space. Mind blown? We thought so!
