Small Room Color Ideas

Small rooms ask for different choices than large ones, and the room itself matters: a kitchen, a bathroom and a bedroom each get light and use color in their own way. Start with the guide for your room. If yours is not a kitchen, bathroom or bedroom, the general small-rooms guide covers light walls with deep accents. Every color in these guides was measured from a public-domain painting, and each page lists its LRV and the closest paint matches so you can judge how much light the walls will bounce back.
