THE BEST PAINT COLORS FOR DARK ROOMS

JENNA KATE AT HOME

HOW DO YOU MAKE A DARK ROOM LOOK BRIGHTER?

Determine why the room is dark 

-

Add more artificial light if needed.

-

Lighten the paint color on the walls.

-

Bring in lighter fixtures and furnishings.

-

Is it a north facing room?

-

Does it have little natural light because of minimal windows or because it's a basement room?

-

Is the light blocked by hills or buildings outside the window

-

WHY IS YOUR ROOM DARK?

Select the paint color based on the mood or feeling that you want your room to convey

Lighter colors bring brighter, fresh feeling  to a space.

Adding white to the walls makes a low lit room feel flat. 

Dark, drab furniture will make the space feel just as cold as the wrong paint color

Embrace the darker aspects of your space and complement its moodiness with rich, dramatic colors. This is a great way to inject personality into a darker room.
