Perfect Interior Trim Paint Colors for Small Rooms

Many of us are already well aware that you have to be very careful when choosing colors of paint for smaller rooms. If you use dark colors, you could end up tuning that small room into a room that looks micro sized. Although it is nothing more than a mere illusion to the eye, making a room look tiny when it already is small is just not a wise choice, especially if you are looking to sell the home in the near future.

So what is one to do if they do not like plain white walls?
 
Personally I can relate, although white is the more obvious choice, you can actually use color on the walls that are very, very light, yet not too light, or too dark as to where it would shrink the appearance of the room.

Very light colored mint walls look fantastic when paired with white trim. You could even make the trim a darker green, but do not go too dark. You want the trim to stick out only slightly, not pop out causing the trim to be the first thing that catches the eye.

For little girls rooms, you could paint walls a very nice light colored pink, as seen here. For trim the obvious choice would be white. It's girly, it's cute, and it will not cause the room to look smaller than it is.

For boys room, the same would apply. You could use a very, very light blue color, and pair it up with a bright white trim, or even a mellow creamy yellow would work, especially for baby boys rooms.

For smaller rooms, you really want to avoid dark reds, browns, greens and blues. Although some of these bold colors may appear gorgeous in the store samples, on smaller room walls, it will simply look too compacted, and tight.

One must always remember that if the room is small, then go light. Trim can be darker, but not too dark. For a fool proof look, go white on trim.

The same thing applies for half panels in smaller rooms. Half panels are very flattering in any room, at just about any size, but for those of you with smaller rooms, you really want light colored paneling, and your best color option would be white, as seen here.
 
Now if you have a smaller room, and you do want to paint the walls all white, then you can color the trim just about any color you want; again though you want to avoid dark, dark colors. Browns however look really flattering if you are looking for a nice earthy look in the room.

For paneling, you can go with half wood panels for a very beautiful, and glamorous finish to the room.
