Everyone loves the big city. It is always a big deal. With plenty of access to music venues, beautiful parks, shopping malls, excellent education, hospitals, amusement park, and many other great things, we always dream to at least live here. It is a perfect place to build a family, right? However, there is a problem though. Living in a big city is more challenging than you might think. In these places, property prices are unbelievably high. Most likely you cannot purchase a home here even if you have the same amount of money to buy a house in a small city. As a result, many people end up with tiny spaces.
Well, it is still good news, however. You finally have a place to sleep in this big city. As for the small space, let us not worry about it. It does not matter how small your area is. I have exciting bedroom decorating ideas to make those areas bigger. Let’s start with your bedroom.
A strategic wall painting
It is a cool name, right? Well, it surely is. A strategic wall painting is a solution for your small spaces. Instead of renovating those areas to make them bigger, all you need is just paint. Shades and patterns, these things are all we need. There is always a great style for whatever color preference you have.
Here is another good news for you. This strategic wall painting is easy for everyone to do. You do not have to be a professional painter to do it. Even if this is your first time, you shall make it. In fact, some of these inspirations provide some space for your innovation. Once you created the ‘extra’ area, you are free to adjust the color as you like. Do not hold back.
Use similar tone
The first secret to make a spacious area is by using the same color family. Light blue-grey, light grey – darker grey or any color combination will suit, as long as they have a similar tone. You should avoid using warm color as they are less efficient for this illusion. Do not worry if you do not know which colors to use. You can consult with your local paint shop or someone who knows about painting. I once discussed with interior painting about this, and they gave me excellent suggestions.
Consider black
Some people avoid black because they believe it will only make the space even narrower. Well, it does, but just if you have poor lighting. When you have enough light, black or another dark color can get you bigger space for your room.
The spacious white
If you do not like the dark color, white is always an excellent option for your sleeping area. Its calm tone matches perfectly with the extra space illusion. When you painted your wall with white, it reflects natural light and therefore, make your room bigger. However, for this space illusion to work, you need a white paint with no undertones.
Create an accent wall
Accent wall also works perfectly with this extra space illusion. All you need is to paint your wall with two different colors at the hugely different contrast. Some people may not like their vast difference, but they work in giving more space to the room. An accent wall also creates a natural focal point for you. With this focal point, you can quickly arrange furniture and other decoration items.
Raise your roof
No, we do not talk about literally raising your roof. This trick only requires you to paint your ceiling. Only this time, you should pick the color carefully. The ceiling color should be lighter than the rest of your bedroom. Try this out, and you will love the gorgeous final look.
Stripe works
If color blocking and vertical stripes are the best ways to streamlining silhouettes, have you ever imagined what horizontal lines could do? When we discovered how great these vertical stripes work, we quickly found that the similar result might appear if we use parallel lines. However, this time we look forward to it to widen the space, instead of streamlining it. The effect is STUNNING. You just need to paint your walls with two horizontal stripes, and you will get your extra space right after ?
Nice matching colors
This trick combines painting with furniture arrangement to optimize the result. For example, you can paint your wall with light French grey if many of your furniture share the same shades. With this trick, you can create a cohesive and more open space.
