Anytips on colors of paint & furniture to make a kids room look bigger?
My daughter is 5 and likes tinkerbell. Chose to do her room under that theme, but most of the colors are honestly dark.(purple, pink, green,etc) Will that make her room look smaller?

tinkerbelll is a cool theme to do.
it might make the room feel tight.
generally not look amller but more of a feel.
pastel green is the color of tinker bells dress.yellows would look nice also,they dont make the room feel small.nor do they make it look huge
Usually dark colors make a room look smaller. Since your daughter likes tinkerbell, why not paint the walls the light blue like her outfit. You could also have some white trim or border around the top of the wall by the ceiling as well. Have fun with it and check around on websites to see if you can find some tinkerbell bedroom furniture to place into it. Check out the website Tystoybox.com where you can find lots of different childrens characters and see if you can find any tinkerbell items there. They sell things from toys to clothes, games, and yep even some furniture. Excellent luck and hope this helps!
i dont know about purple but stick with light shades and keep the curtain open so the lights come in and that will help make it look larger
make the walls up in a sky blue and the overlay with faux white clouds maybe even get stencils of peter and the lost boys and tink she will delight in it for years and could you reckon of a better way of expanding a room to be the size of the sky…….small of cutting off the roof….lol excellent luck refurbishing
Go with the tinkerbell theme cuz she will adore it! Darker walls might make the room feel COZY! You can always lighten up with the curtains, bedding, throw rugs, and lamps. If you chicken out on painting the walls dark, you can always just do the ceiling in a dark navy blue with tiny white stars. Have fun!
Most likely But try to paint the walls with a stripe and switching out the colors of dark and light.I have a very small bathroom with no window but I did a base coat of light pink with dark pink, black, and green stripes and it really made it look excellent and larger
Maybe you can use pastel colors of pink, green, or purple. Or paint just the top part of the wall in a lighter hue and paint the lower part in one of the darker colors you mentioned and a border or chair rail in the middle.
“Darker colors make intimacy. They also make a room appear smaller, which is ideal for larger areas. Dark colors draw you into a room, or make a small, intimate place.
Lighter colors provide a room with an open, airy feel and can make rooms appear larger.”
that’s simple,now that you have a theme,go to Lowe’s where they have the best paint and the best colors you could ever want.i have been a painter for 35 years and have worked for Lowe’s and even though they treated me terrible,they do have the best colors for a child’s room.paint the ceiling a bright white first,then take a pencil and draw a line in the corners so you will have a line to cut in to to achieve a clean cut professional look.i would not be too exact,because children grow and colors and taste change.do what she wishes and be ready to kiltz at a later date.one thing i did once was to take a picture out of a coloring book,took it to a printer and they made me a transparency,and i then rented a projector like they use in school and projected it on the wall,where i drew it on the wall and then painted it.also, i would often blow glitter on certain areas for sparkle,like at the end of the magic wand.
