14. Paint Everything White
When it comes to decorating a small space, one of the biggest tips that everyone knows is to keep the colors light. There are a lot of small bedrooms out there where the owner decides to make everything white. Some people even go as far as to paint the hardwood floors white too. After the base has been painted white, you can add colors on top of it with the furniture and accessories. This makes a room feel a lot bigger than having dark walls and dark furniture.

For some people, the idea of painting a room white is way too drastic. They believe that it takes away from personalizing the room, or that it’s too boring. If that’s the case, you might want to choose a light color instead. Pastel paints are beautiful, and they are reminiscent of the English cottage look. Just remember that paint always gets darker as time goes on. For example, I painted my bedroom a light lavender color. A few years later, the room had become such a dark purple that it felt suffocating. I ended up painting it a white cream color. this ended up being the right choice. Not only does it feel bigger and brighter, but it also gives me a lot more freedom to have colorful objects in the room without worrying that it clashes with the walls.
