Dark palettes have been traditionally associated with larger spaces, while light palettes believed ideal for smaller spaces. We’ve experimented for years with dark palettes in small spaces have been very happy with the results. In fact, we believe dark palettes can be just as good as light ones for small spaces.

When used correctly, dark colors can make a small space feel cozy and inviting, rather than cramped and cluttered. Additionally, a darker palette can also create a sense of depth and dimension, helping to elongate the appearance of a small space making it feel more spacious and open.

Dark colors also have the ability to be both dramatic and sophisticated, making them ideal for creating a bold and statement-making interior. This can be especially useful in small spaces, where the impact of color is heightened. A dark palette can help to create a sense of sophistication and style, while also serving to make the space feel more visually interesting and dynamic.

In conclusion, dark palettes are a lighter’s equal for small spaces. Their ability to create coziness and intimacy, elongate the appearance of a small space and make a bold statement make them a strong choice in the right situation.
