The palette can be a great ally for creating amplitude make-ups. Find out how to apply them more strategically:
A color definition and placement make a difference to control breadth in a small room, and this feeling of greater space can be elaborated in different ways in a furniture project.
It’s like face make-up: we highlight strengths, mask small imperfections, use luminosity, contrasts, light and dark tones to find the perfect balance.
In this sense, the colors are perfect for create tricks which give volume. After all, they bring to light different levels of intensity, brightness and reflectivity. Plus, they also have power and influence human behavior.
Mastering the color palettes and knowing how to use them are therefore key points in the process of “extending” the house. Check out some tips from Iquine on how to use them to enlarge small spaces:
Bright colored walls and light ceiling
You clear tones on the ceiling they give depth (because they reflect more light) and differ when the other walls pull for more intense color or colors. This strategy to enhance the surrounding colors and leave on soft tone on top it creates a feeling of stretched space.
Minimalism is a precious detail in interior design: “less is more” helps circulation, gives lightness and combines with the proposal to enlarge the space.
Niches, shelves and built-in wardrobes optimize physical activity. Mirrors, on the other hand, give depth to small spaces and are therefore welcome, especially if positioned to highlight interesting details of the house.
Clear tones yes, but without exaggeration
the colors inside light and neutral tones they reflect light better and, as a result, contribute to the feeling of greater space. However, this doesn’t mean that the house has to be all white, as the end result can resemble a nursing room.
Light colors play a fundamental role for those who want to expand a small space. Very muted tones, such as white, beige, gray and off-white, can be accompanied by objects and accessories that draw attention to you, such as an earth tone sofa or large striped carpetwhich give the impression of a longer environment.
For those who love dark colors but are afraid to use them in smaller spaces, a suggestion is to paint only a part of the wall, which will give a touch of audacity and refinement without weighing down the environment.
Colored ceilings to mask the low height
Using colors that highlight the ceiling is a creative move because it draws attention when we look up and makes us forget that the height is low. Drapes attached to the ceiling and large vertical accessories, such as paintings, only add to the feeling of spaciousness.
Defining the ceiling color palette is very important in achieving this optical illusion. If the idea is to disguise the low ceiling, invest soft tonesthey offer depth in space with a bright orange and harmonize with the green of plants and elements that refer to the nature present in the space.
Avoid painting in black or very dark colors, as they reflect little light and give little depth.
Integration of environments with the same color
This is a very valuable strategy because it breaks the idea of ​​blocking between rooms. A painting of two rooms with the same color palette it brings a sense of continuity.
In the case of a kitchen with a living room, for example, choosing a single floor for both environments elevates the concept of integrated spaceletting utensils of a different color from the wall act as dividers.
tables, seats and supporters in light tones generate an interesting contrast to a warm colored environment.
“Rather than actively participating in creating a greater aesthetic for the proposed space, paints contribute brilliance and protection from mold and bacteria, as well as helping to mask surface imperfections.
That’s why it’s so important to define not only the color, but also the type of product. Iquine’s acrylic paints, for example, have dirt-repellent films with high resistance to light, which keep the colors alive much longer,” explains Jorge Holanda, Technical Relationship Manager of the group.
