Another trick to making your room feel bigger is color drenching. This paint trend is the perfect way to update any space whilst making it appear larger.
'The trick I love to make a room feel bigger is in painting the base, walls, crown (if any), and ceiling in the same color,' says interior designer Becky Shea. 'Doing this avoids the visual breakup of those areas when colors contrast, helping to make walls feel larger and allowing the ceiling to become one with the walls and blend,' she explains.
There are no hard and fast rules about picking the perfect color to enlarge your rooms, every space is different. However, color drenching can certainly help.
'Picking the right one to enlarge the space comes down to choosing light, dark or an in-between, and sampling a few in the room to see how they interact with its natural light before deciding,' she says,  'just make sure to hit all paintable spots in the same tone if you really want to trick your eye into feeling the room's larger!
