Small rooms can be a challenge to design, but know a few space -saving tips and tricks, can help you maximize your square meter number. Multi -purpose furniture and minimalist aesthetics are some options, but one of the best solutions is the right color.
A few selected pigments can feel a smaller room even larger and turn a tiny corner into an airy library or a kitchen in a pint size into an open oasis. Here we have asked interior designers to make the best colors that can help double the size of any space – without throwing off the walls.
Calmly from Benjamin Moore

“One of my colors to make a room to feel more expansive is calm,” says Elana Tenenbaum CLINE, founder and creative director of Carta Creatives. “It is a soft, neutral white with just enough warmth to feel inviting and at the same time keep a crispy, airy quality.”
In this project, she used this soothing white color both on the walls and on the ceiling to achieve a seamless, increased look. If you paint them all with the same color, you can remove all visual breaks and feel the room even larger.
Gentleman's Gray by Benjamin Moore

While this may be surprising, darker colors can also open a room – and really set the mood. Yena Jung of Yena Designs says Gentleman's Gray feels like looking at a huge, never ending ocean at night. “This effect can feel a space more spacious and open on the walls.
Black berry from Benjamin Moore

Many black colors can feel too strong, too cold and too intimidating. However, this black tone has a nice purple and blue shade.
“Black Berry feels warm and inviting and makes them be in the room. Even a small mud room can feel luxurious with this black tone,” says Jung. Remember that the best way to appreciate the power of this color is about the correct application. A dark color looks best when the color is not too streaked.

Shaolin Tief from Studio Shaolin is without a question of Alabaster. “We use it in so many of our projects because it just works. It is the perfect soft white that stops a room without feeling cold or cold,” she says.
Interior designer Leah Bailey agrees. “It is a master of illusion,” she says. “Its soft warmth and subtle greige tones create a feeling of openness, the light spreads so that a room feels effortlessly.”
In other words, it is the perfect balance between crisp and cozy and gives the rooms an airy elegance.

Heather Kate, Lead designer at MDI Luxury Design, gives Talg as an excellent option for maximizing the square meters. It is a soft, creamy yellow with warmer under tones and helps to feel a room larger and more inviting.
Since it is neutral, it can also flow seamlessly across all aspects of a room and create a feeling of airiness and connection.
Sea salt of Sherwin-Williams

Would you like to bring a peaceful coastal air into your interiors? “Lighter, cooler tones tend to go back visually visually, which makes the walls feel further apart and the space more spacious,” says interior designer Ania Agárdy. “White always comes to mind at first, but a cool gray like sea salt is also a good choice.”

White color can help to open a room, but some colors can better create this effect than others.
“My soft white is the timeless and elegant Chantilly tip by Benjamin Moore,” says Agárdy. “You can't go wrong with these tones. It is crispy and airy, reflects light and creates a feeling of openness.”
