You have probably come across the opinion more than once that the walls of a tiny room should definitely be painted in a light color to make it more spacious.
However, the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, designer Yulia Tychino, is sure that this rule does not apply to all cases.
The final result you get depends on how much sunlight enters the room.
If the room's windows face north, pale walls will create the feeling of a sterile, boring and cold interior.
In this case, there can be no talk of comfort; you will be introduced to something resembling a medical office.
What to do? When choosing a color, take the purpose of the room as a guide, as well as your own feelings.
For example, a dark bedroom promotes quality sleep and creates a cozy atmosphere, especially if it is the home of a person who goes to bed late.
However, for small spaces that require high activity (kitchen, study), a light color scheme is preferable, as dark tones can reduce productivity.
