Low-lit dark rooms can prove challenging when it comes to choosing a paint colour. As the day progresses, these rooms change from dim to dark, and the less natural night a room receives the smaller the room will look.
Despite the fact that our natural instincts instruct us to use a light colour in dark rooms, there are actually alternative options which could produce better results.
The more common pastels and light colours can actually present a non-desired atmosphere as they will try and reflect non-existing light. Instead you should be confident with your colour play because dark rooms are the perfect opportunity for fun, daring and vibrant colour play.
You should explore brightly saturated colours that add glow. This becomes the perfect substitute for the lack of natural light.
The daring lime greens, rich blues, popping violets and glowing tones of orange can create life in any room with a burst of individual personality.
See how these glowing colours transfer dark rooms into radiating rooms that speak for themselves…
Energising Lime Green
A lime green is a refreshing burst of energy for dark rooms of all sizes.
