15 Paint Colors That Make a Small Space Feel Way Bigger
If you're lacking space, you need to pull out every trick in the book to make your room appear larger. The best way to start is with your wall color, and while white is the obvious choice, it isn't the only option. From bold and dark to light and bright, these are the best colors for a small space.
Wild, loud colors, like purple, might actually be better in small spaces. Could you imagine how in-your-face this shade would be all over a giant living room? By limiting it to an entryway, you still get a pop of color without overwhelming your house.
The smaller the space, the darker you can go. This gray is modern and sophisticated yet still cozy and chic.

Shadow can be your friend, especially in a small space. Painting a room a dark color camouflages the fact that it's small. A deep blue like this creates the perception of depth.
Beige
Neutral never goes out of style. This is for everyone who doesn't want basic white but isn't ready to incorporate bold color into their space.
Blue-Green
This misty teal feels beachy, but it's also classic. Creamy neutral décor, like this mirror, table, and chair, pops against it. That contrast is the key to making a tiny space feel dynamic.
Coffee
Play up the cozy factor of a tiny room with a rich, deep brown. This shade, with a hint of gray, creates intimacy in the small sitting space.
Pearl Gray
Gray can be dull, so choose one that has some luminosity to it. The color fluctuates with the shadows and time of day, so it's always intriguing.
Super White
White reflects the light and makes the walls recede, which helps make a small space seems larger. While whites can have undertones of blue, pink, or even green, this is just white in its purest form without any color. It's not stark or cold, just light and airy.
Soft Yellow
This shade of yellow is perfect for your kiddos, because it's colorful and fun but doesn't look too juvenile. Read: You won't need to close off their space from the rest of your house.
Peacock
A small room doesn't mean you should limit your palette. Choose a bold shade that's simultaneously vibrant and relaxing, like this peacock blue.
Blush
A super soft shade of pink adds warmth to a small room without overpowering it. Pair it with grays and blacks to make sure it doesn't feel too frilly.
Sage
Choose a light mossy green with a hint of gray in it for a space with large windows. In the summer, it'll blend with the foliage. When it's too cold to deal in the winter, it'll remind you that spring is on the way.
Off-White
You want to maximize the light in your small living room—especially if you have lots of windows—so opt for an off-white wall color. It'll add a hint of warmth but still keep things feeling airy.
Sky Blue
Nothing soothes in a bedroom like a dreamy sky blue. This soft shade of blue helps your space feel a bit more expansive.
