Dark colours might instinctively be colours to avoid if you are looking to create a feeling of space, as people fear making their room look smaller. But, conversely, very rich blues and greens create a depth which our eyes find hard to focus on – and thus create a sense of a wall being further away than it actually is.

Light colours reflect light which makes a space feel larger. Painting walls and woodwork in the same colour, or slight tonal variations of the same hue, creates amonochromatic scheme that elongates the length of the walls andmakes a space seem taller. To emphasise the height of a space, use dark colours on the floor and use lighter colours towards the ceiling.
