Check out these 7 tricks used by interior designers all around the globe, for a beautiful and perfect room!
#1: If one of your rooms lacks natural light, use a warmer shade of white on it. Not only does it give the illusion of a sunlit and warm area, with or without sunlight, but it will also make the space feel cozier.
⠀
#2: Cool colors -- blue, green or purple, for example -- help us calm down and relax, which is why they’re useful in a bedroom or bathroom. Other colors like red, orange, and yellow bring more energy to a room, and encourage interactions. Those should be used in a living room or dining area.
⠀
#3: Avoid using warm colors in small spaces. Instead, you can visually expand a room with cool, light tones. White colors on the ceiling or walls enlarge spaces. Warm colors should be mainly used in bigger spaces to create more intimacy.
⠀
#4: It is best practice to limit your variations of colors to a maximum of three colors per room, with 60% of the dominant color, 30% of your secondary color and 10% of an accent color. With that in mind, you can also write your own formula depending on the look and feel you want your room to have.
⠀
#5: If you have already decided on the furniture, accessories, or artwork to be displayed in a room, make sure that the wall colors will not only match, but enhance, the overall look.
⠀
#6: Painting your ceiling a lighter color than the walls is a known trick -- it makes the walls seem higher and your space look larger and more breathable.
⠀
#7: Finally, find inspiration for your wall colors by looking at everyday items or items close to you: the colors used in your favorite artwork, for example, or the palette of some nature images that you like, or even the most common color in your wardrobe!

The right color combination is the one that will give your room the feel that you want.
