Understand colour schemes
Something so simple as the colour of your walls can make a huge difference in how big or small your room feels. Darker colours tend to make the room feel smaller and boxed in. Whereas, lighter hues and accent walls do wonders for making your rooms feel larger.
So, when it comes to choosing the right colour scheme for your home, make sure you bear in mind how it will work in reality.
Dark purple maybe your favourite colour, but if you’re looking to open the room and make it feel more spacious then it a safer option to go for lighter hues.
