Your master bedroom does not receive adequate natural light and feels gloomy and dismal. Your living room has not many windows, and you hate inviting guests into a cramped-feeling room. Besides a total remodel to let in more natural light, what else can you do to create a space you actually wish to spend time in?

You can use the magic of paint! Keep reading this post to find out how to select the correct paint for your dark room.

Steer clear of white:

This may go against your natural likings, but white isn’t the appropriate colour for a dark room. That is because white reflects natural light. And if there is no natural light in your room, white is not going to have anything to reflect. It can even make the space feel darker.

Go with warm-toned neutrals:

You can brighten up your dark space with warm-toned neutrals. Steer clear of selecting dark tones, stay medium.

Keep in mind, there’s not adequate light in your dark space to reflect off the colour you paint over the wall. So you will have to choose colours that are more saturated, without much black in their base. Brighter colors are your best friend in a dark room.

Yellow:

You can bring a sunny feel to your dark space with yellow colour. When you brace it with ample artificial light & white accents, it can make your dark space feel bright and blissful.

Lavender:

Lavender comes with enough shades to fit a variety of tastes. The warm tones of lavender help to infuse brightness to a room that’s dark. Your accent colors and accessories will drastically change the impact of lavender. Keep it stylish in your master bedroom with white and gray furniture and accents, or make it lively in the kid’s room with pastels.

Brown:

Though it looks counterintuitive, when performed right, brown forms a truly commanding effect in a space that does not receive a great amount of natural light. Chocolate brown walls are warm, and produce a comfy feeling. Feel like browning each wall is too much? Pick one accent wall, and keep the rest of the elements in the room light – light furniture, pale floors, and light accents.
