In pretty much every home, there is a dark space that doesn’t allow for much natural light. You might think just painting that area the brightest white is your best option, but our house painters in Phoenix, Buckeye, and Litchfield Park, have some other great ideas for you.
The reason bright white is so bright, is because it reflects natural light so well. Therefore, if there’s not enough natural light in a space, then that bright white is wasted. Sometimes, instead of opening up the area, white could actually make it seem darker. One general thing our house painters in Phoenix, Buckeye and Litchfield Park will recommend is: if you have to turn a light on in the room during the day, then white is simply not your best option.
Some of the best options for the dark spaces of your home in Phoenix, Buckeye, or Litchfield Park are warm toned- neutral colors. Our house painters suggest these are the best options to help brighten and make a space feel bigger.
You will need to choose a color that is more saturated, since there is little to no natural light for the color to reflect. And our house painters in Phoenix, Buckeye and Litchfield Park will remind you that light colors aren’t necessarily a must, but what you should focus on are bright colors.
Remember that the type of space our house painters in Phoenix, Buckeye and Litchfield Park are going to paint for you, will also affect your color choice. Bathrooms with no windows will allow for much bolder colors than a that dark hallway you’d like to make seem a bit less narrow.
Here are some favorite colors our house painters in Phoenix, Buckeye, and Litchfield Park like to use for dark rooms:
Lavender
It’s warm tones add brightness to dark areas. There are many shades, so finding the perfect one that suits you best is easy. There are also many choices of lavender that are not too feminine, so it is a versatile color. You can match it with neutrals, pastels, grays or whites to make your perfect look.
Yellow
A bright sunny color can recreate the feeling of natural light when you don’t have much to work with. This works well in small bedrooms and bathrooms with little to no natural light. This color pairs well with whites and wood tones.
Powder Blue
This is a very uplifting color, that can brighten even the darkest spaces of your home in Phoenix, Buckeye, or Litchfield Park. Simple white accents provide a clean and crisp look to the space.
Bright Orange
Even though this color is a bit on the wild side, our house painters recommend it for small spaces. Shades of pumpkin, apricot, or tangerine can add the right warm hue to really make a dark space cozy. This color perfect for kitchens, or dining rooms. It pairs very well with dark wood and can add that perfect pop of color.
Soft Gray
Even the darkest and very drab looking spaces can be perked up with a touch of gray. It may seem like the opposite would happen, but our house painters in Phoenix, Buckeye and Litchfield Park can show you how the right shade can really brighten up your space. Even mixing gray with a bit of beige, lavender, or pink can warm the shade a bit.
Pink
Pink will instantly brighten any space. Softer types of pastels or rose toned pinks can work wonders in your darker areas. You can accent a wall with a bold fuchsia also if your feeling bold.
