Avoid darker paints in intensely lit spaces.
Rather opt for cooler colours. They help make walls recede and will make the room feel more spacious and light. Pale greys and blues are great for maximising the available light. Or, you can soften the space with light terracotta tones or yellow shades.
Interiors trims – to highlight or not, that is the question
Bright white as an accent is both fresh and modern, while soft-toned or off-white trim finishes give a room a more classic feel. Painting any trim detail in a strong colour will draw attention to it, so if you want the trims in a room to recede, go for the same colour and finish as that of the wall.
