Ideas for small spaces: Using 2 paint shades + hanging curtains high: 'Drab' + 'Light Gray' by Farrow & Ball
To make this room appear larger, interior designer Jeff Andrews used an olive-green shade (Drab, by Farrow & Ball) on the lower two-thirds of the walls and a lighter shade (Light Gray, by Farrow & Ball) above it— the gradation from dark to light makes the ceiling appear taller. Salvaged windows brighten the space, which Andrews uses as a dressing area and a guest room.
Other small-space tips from Andrews:
• If you paint a small room a dark color, use a high- or semi-gloss paint to bounce the light around the room, making the room feel more spacious.
• Hang a large mirror in a dead-end space (such as between two doors) to make it feel like an entrance to another room.
