Small can definitely be perfectly formed but in the case of property, potential buyers are often motivated by space. Floor plans can be deceptive so purchasers will instinctively rely on photographs and then a viewing to decide whether the property warrants an offer.
Therefore it’s essential that all rooms are presented to their maximum potential. We do realise that not every home has the grand proportions of a stately palace but it is possible to take a small space and make it feel bigger than it actually is using paint.
While dark, cosy colours are very on-trend, they can be tricky to execute in a small room. If you’re looking to present the brightest and best-looking space, the interior design advice is to stick with the lightest shades on your walls.
If you are repainting over a dark hue, decorating experts recommend using a primer first. This will conceal the paint underneath and reduce the amount of new coats that are needed. Always wait for the primer to dry before applying your final colour – read the tin’s directions for use for how many hours you should wait.
There is an abundance of neutral shades readily stocked in store and online but the choice is so extensive it can be bewildering. To help you choose, we have narrowed down our favourite paints for small spaces and categorised them into colours. Why not order a few tester pots today?
