We’ll attempt to keep it brief even though the answer to this question could fill several pages. Lighting is the first thing to take into account. When a room is painted a light hue, it will appear brighter, bigger, and more open than it actually is. A darker hue can be used to make larger spaces feel a little cosier. Darker hues produce a more dramatic atmosphere in compact spaces. The mood you want to convey in a room as well as your personal style really influence the paint colours.
