Small room
Big furniture
Not a ton of light

It can feel cramped fast.
But the right paint color can shift everything.
No renovation needed.

Just one good color choice
and suddenly the whole space feels more open and calm.

Here’s the secret:
Light reflects light.
So when you choose a soft, light color
you’re letting the space breathe.

It doesn’t just look bigger
it feels bigger.

Try one of these colors:

Soft white
Like Benjamin Moore’s White Dove
Clean, warm, and great for reflecting natural light

Light gray
Gives the room a little contrast without weighing it down

Pale blue
Cool and airy, a nice option for bedrooms or bathrooms

You don’t need to go full stark white.
Just something soft
something pale
something that lets light bounce around.

That’s where the magic happens.

So, what color makes a room look bigger?

Soft white
Light gray
Pale blue

Stick to something light and reflective
and you’ll notice the difference almost immediately.
