“Hi Sayeh:  I am trying to make a small room into an offiice/guest room. Can you give me some paint colors that would make the room look bigger?  Thanks!”

Hi there,

First off, thanks so much for reaching out to me with your office style question! Now, when it comes to making a room look bigger, you always want to stick with neutral colors. Dark or bold colors will actually make your space look smaller than it is, but colors like cream, beige, light blues, light grays and whites will keep your space feeling open. Since we’re talking about your office, you wouldn’t want to go with something dark anyhow, because it can effect the way you work too.

Besides paint, another easy trick is to put a mirror on a wall in whatever room you want to look bigger. Try it, and you’ll see the difference.

Thanks for stopping by,

Sayeh
