Living, Etc: Best Paint Colors for Small Rooms

"For a smaller bedroom or living room where you might want to embrace the size and create a feeling of coziness, a brown on the walls can work beautifully. Here, interior designers Benjamin Stelly and Tanya Selway of design studio Stelly Selway also used the brown on the door frame, giving it a monochromatic look that makes this room feel like a warm hug. This shade has grey tones, and really connects the paint color to nature, which is another way of adding comfort to the space. The space has been made extra cozy with two bedside glowing pendants. Think about how to build on the theme in a smaller room, adding soft furnishings, thick throws and layer with lighting. Think about how you accessories and colors that go with brown, and the room will really tie together."
