A dark wall changes the room proportions
Let’s start with the most common and obvious thing when we think of apply dark colors in our home interiors. The statement that dark colors are not a good choice for small rooms.
In my opinion you shouldn’t be afraid by that. More importantly you need to be aware that with a dark color can change the room’s proportions feeling.
For example, if you have a spacious room, a dark color on the walls makes the room feel smaller. But if you choose a dark nuance of a color, such orange, yellow, or red to paint the walls, the living space will certainly also feel smaller but warm and cozier.
However, if you are you opt for a dark, but cold color on the walls such as blue, purple, or green the living space will feel larger than if you choose a dark and warm color. Interesting, isn’t it?
If you have a high ceiling, a dark color makes the ceiling height appear lower.
Therefore, sometimes is a great idea to cozy up your home interior to by choosing a dark color on all the room walls. In this way you will create a real “wow feeling” and add coziness and character to your home interior.
