When using the small attic rooms, it is advisable to avoid using large patterns or bold colors. Therefore, the use of darker shades or patterns will not be very appropriate since it will create the feeling of a small and closed room. However, you can add some daring color schemes in occasional pieces such as throw pillows, rugs, or paintings to make some statement of a space without making it too overwhelming. For walls and large pieces, consider pastel shades and non-glossy finishes to keep the environment as light as possible.
