There is a myth, which says that dark colors do not fit into small spaces. White walls, in contrast, tend to give the illusion of increased space, but the darker shades can create their own magic in those places.
There is no doubt that white walls are effective in increasing the volume of a room, especially high ceilings, wood floors and furniture line and spaces with natural light. However, in rooms with low ceilings, paint the walls white is not a good option.
The alternative is, when it comes to small rooms, the black color, as it incorporates very well. The spaces that lack architectural character, like a toilet, can have a rather dramatic style. A dark color provides an elegant backdrop that allows insertion of accessories.
But not all dark colors work the same. Your best bet will always be black, charcoal, navy, deep brown. While dark red, green or medium blue can make the room seem even smaller.

If you want to paint a room like a pro to give it a new look follow these tips:
1- Remove all the furniture and the greatest one must be covered carefully with plastic to avoid staining of paint. You must also remove the wall hangings such as shelves and even the tops of the current switches and valves and for safety cut the power when performing this task. Finally remove all doors, windows and hinges if removable.
2- Then proceed to prepare the surface to be painted: Check the condition of the walls and ceiling, if the surface is firm and clean you can paint directly.
Otherwise, if it is cracked, you shall remove the material and sanding to smooth the edges. Finally remove the dust from the walls with a brush. If the wall is very porous it is necessary to apply a coat of sealer or binder mixed with a bit of paint to use to serve as a primer or base.
3- Then you will cover everything that you do not want to paint, you will define exactly what should be painting, and use the paper tape specifically for painters.
This tape has the peculiarity of having an adhesive that does not remove the paint and is not sticky. Be covered such as window frames, doors and cabinet if mounted, and so on.
In case you want to paint the walls with two colors you should expect the first color dry and then delineate the tape and paint the second color. The masking tape should ideally remove when wet with painting of the last hand.
4- Prepare the paint: if the paint has a film on top, it must be carefully removed by cutting the edge without letting any fall to the bottom piece.
Then mix the paint well using a circular motion until the paint is homogeneous and get a uniform color.
5- When you get the paint ready, begin to paint: First begin with the ceiling with all hands are needed, if the paint is quality one or two hands will suffice.
The angles and areas closer to the walls are painted with a brush first. To paint the ceiling it is best to use a roller with extendable handle for applying a standstill and not having to climb stairs. The roller is impregnated with paint and it rolls over the surface to spread a thin coat of paint.
6- Then proceed with the walls painted from top to bottom taking wide vertical stripes of two rollers connecting strips with steep passes before re-wet the roller to get a perfect finish.
It is recommend to use painter trays where you can load and drain the roller to better control the amount of paint you apply.

One of the most "fun" that we can have when decorate your homes is definitely painting the walls in addition to being a truly relaxing activity.
People tend to always bet neutral colors when painting the walls of their houses and rooms, but the truth is that the possibilities are endless and more when we take the step of painting the walls with different colors.
So, before we get to choose a paint color that suits the room that we are going to paint, you must keep in your mind that your chosen paint reflect your taste and personality. For example, the blue gives a feeling of calm, while red is a color that conveys a lot more energy.
We have said that the options are endless, but we must add that not everything is based on a single paint color but also once you choose the color (which should always be lighter than you want), you can play to paint the rest of the room in same tones and give a multicolor effect.Thus, for example if a room decorated in blue, you can buy a couch in the same color but with lighter or darker shade, so we can continue to choose other items like a table, curtains or fabrics.
