It’s pretty common knowledge that light colors make small spaces feel bigger. That’s why every tiny apartment is painted white. It’s a trick that we all know, and the psychological effect is wearing off a bit. It’s also a little boring. Just because you have some small rooms in your home, that doesn’t mean you have to limit your paint choices to white and off-white. At Aubin Ace Hardware, we’re proud to sell Benjamin Moore paint and their wide range of color options. The possibilities are nearly endless, so you can definitely find the perfect colors for your home.
Here are three Benjamin Moore paint colors that make small spaces feel bigger that aren’t white.
Chelsea Gray HC-168
If you want to stay with neutral colors, gray is a good alternative to white. We suggest Chelsea Gray, a warm gray with brown and violet undertones. Because of those undertones, it matches beautifully with muted yellows and purples, so you can have some fun with accents. Chelsea Gray works well in small bathrooms to make them feel like warm and inviting spaces. Gold or brass hardware also brings out the brown undertones in this warm gray paint. If you’d like a cooler color, Gray 2121-10 is a good alternative. This color goes nicely with muted blues and chrome or stainless steel hardware.
Sunshine 2021-30
If you and your home have a bright, sunny personality, you need a paint color to match. In a small bedroom, Sunshine Yellow will instantly brighten your mood and make you feel good about your warm and cozy space. Because it is such a bright color, Sunshine can be a bit much for the whole room, but it works well as the bottom half of a wall to balance out white. The bright yellow distracts from the size of the room and makes it a cheerful space.
Kensington Blue 840
If you like bold colors but prefer the classics, you can’t go wrong with navy. Benjamin Moore’s Kensington Blue brings refinement to any room. Whether it’s a guest bedroom or guest bathroom, this color is sure to impress. It’s a calm color that goes well with white, beige, gold, and wood accents.
