What color should I paint a smaller room with no windows?
Posted by Michelle on Jan 12, 2012 in french shabby chic bedroom furniture | 6 commentsI have a den that I use as a guest room. I have french vanilla and white bedroom furniture and would like to create a shabby-chic look. What color would look best on the walls? The rug is also an off-white and one entire wall is all closet.”

A small room needs to be either a light color or have a large wall mirror. I would go with yellow. Not to soft and not to much gold.
I would say maybe a beige or a light green (but not a minty green more like an olive). They’re light colors which are necessary in small rooms and they are classic and match with anything. If you want you can make a faux window, they look really cool. You put up a shade and a curtain over it and shine a light through the back, with the shade pulled down the window looks real and pretty cool and its not that expensive to make!
navy or a light purple.
Use light color paint, and get one of those mirrors that looks like a window with small panes. Some have a little ledge, that you could sit a small planter of silk flowers. Makes it look like there is a window, also makes the room look larger.
for smaller rooms you are supposed to use lighter colors to make it appear larger. definitely do not use whites or creams or dark colors. good luck and happy holidays (:
Choose one of these tones of white and stick to an all white room (the whites do not have to be the same…the trick to this would be textures. An all white room can be a fantastic look. To soften the box look (because there is no window, you can hang a curtain on the wall at the head of the bed as if there is a window (keep it floor length).
