How do you make a small bedroom look bigger using paint?

• Enhance the depth of your space by incorporating illusions and special effects. Use vertical or horizontal banding to trick your eyes and create the illusion of height and/or width respectively in a small bedroom
• If you’ve opted for a monochromatic look for your bedroom then paint the ceilings or trim in a lighter color to make it look higher
• If you choose light colors for your bedroom, create the feature/accent wall in a comparatively stronger color so that it becomes the focal point of attention
• If you choose dark colors like navy blue, black or dark grey for your bedroom then don’t paint every wall in that color. Instead, create an accent wall of a lighter color to tone down the overwhelming effect

Wait, we’ve also got some useful tips for you to keep in mind while choosing wall paint colours for your bedroom.

• Visualise the chosen paint colors for your bedroom walls on tried and tested paint colour apps such as that of Dulux, Berger And Asian Paints. Paint visualiser apps help you to filter colour palettes that are an almost match to your chosen color and share it with your friends for their two cents as well
• If you’re struggling to choose the perfect color/colour scheme among the many options for your bedroom then hiring a colour consultant will be a wise decision. An expert in the field, he will be able to put you in the right direction by giving you paint colour ideas and practical lighting advice that’s in sync with your home interiors
• Test your paint colors on the walls using samples before making a commitment to your time and funds. We’re sure you don’t want your hard-earned money to go down the drain. It’s one of the most important steps in finding the right choice of wall paint for any room in your house.

BONUS – How do you make a small bedroom look nice and spacious?

Moving beyond just the wall paint, you can even experiment with the other elements and decor of your bedroom. Here are a few suggestions:

• Install floating/mounted/built-in shelves instead of separate storage around the bed to save on the floor space
• Opt for neutral color flooring so that the bedroom’s overall look isn’t overwhelming. Choose white/light vitrified tiles or marble over wooden or laminate flooring instead
• Choose an appropriate window treatment for ample amounts of natural sunlight to come in. If that’s not possible, then place a large mirror in the room to create the ultimate illusion of space as they’re reflective. Also, don’t let the window curtains and drapes drop down to the floor
• Plan an efficient layout for your bedroom space through the clever spacing of furniture and other necessary items. You can maximise your small bedroom by using glass/transparent furniture that serves dual purposes (read: multifunctional and space-saving) such as tables with shelves, convertibles, and wall-mounted light fixtures instead of tables and floor lamps 
• Get rid of the stuff that you don’t want and neatly organise the rest to reduce visual clutter in the bedroom 
• Play around with smaller prints and solid colours when it comes to the bedding and upholstery.
