The first trick is to creatively choose the right paint

The first trick is to creatively choose the right paint colors in your design scheme. Pastels such as powder blue, light yellow or lilac, and other softer hues reflect natural light and let it bounce around the room giving it the appearance of being airy. Creams and icy blues are bright and reflective and create an illusion to make your room look bigger and brighter. Adding a light or white trim can also help create the illusion of more space.
