"I've often heard the simple, go-to advice for making a cramped space appear bigger: paint it white."
"Homeowners (and sellers) have long relied on this classic hue to craft an illusion of openness for potential buyers."
""A common misconception about paint colors is that white walls will make a space feel bigger. For white to work in a cramped space, you need natural light and other natural features. Otherwise, it can look dingy," mentions Libby Fehsenfeld, home stager and owner of Tralala Interiors."
"To help you move beyond white walls and choose the best paint colors to transform any cramped room, we consulted a few leading real estate professionals."
White paint has been a traditional tactic to make small rooms seem larger, but white requires adequate natural light and complementary natural features to avoid appearing dingy. Real estate professionals increasingly recommend unconventional hues to attract buyers and create visual interest. Home stagers emphasize that color interacts with lighting, finishes, and architectural details, so a single universal solution is ineffective. Thoughtful color selection, paired with staging strategies that highlight natural light and room features, can transform cramped spaces and improve buyer perception more effectively than defaulting to white alone.
