Many interior designers and home decorators swear by white as the go-to choice for compact spaces.
A dark painted accent wall will recede, adding depth that will make the room feel more expansive.
Gold-toned finishes, wood accents, and bold blue patterned tile flooring keeps it from looking sterile.

Pale gray marble countertops and a cool pastel mint green door adds balance.
Earthy green floor-to-ceiling drapes to make the space feel larger are a perfect complement.

Painting the pocket door in the same shade helps to visually enlarge and define the space.
A satin or velvet finish will show more wall imperfections but will also reflect more light.
Unless of course that’s exactly the effect that you are want.

You might be surprised that the white you thought was neutral-toned looks too yellow or gray on your wall.
