There is a palette of possibilities when tackling small room designs, whether you’re in a cosy apartment, a quaint cottage, or even just decorating a small downstairs loo or an attic bedroom. The key to turning these limited spaces into functional and stylish havens involves a thoughtful approach to design and colour. Leveraging natural light, employing techniques like colour drenching to impart a sense of expansiveness – the array of options is vast when it comes to enhancing the aesthetic appeal of your petite and enclosed rooms. Natural Light Natural light is a small space’s best asset. Berdoulat has created the most stylish yet functional space using our darker hues ‘London brown’ and ‘Tingry’ despite it being a small room, and has cleverly brought natural light flooding into this partitioned pantry.

This can be accomplished by employing contrasting colour combinations like ‘Rose’ and ‘Invisible Green’, which, despite residing on opposite sides of the colour wheel, achieve tonal harmony through the use of natural pigments in our paints. Alternatively, you can choose a more neutral and timeless appearance with our ‘Cinnamon’, available in lighter shades of 60%, 40%, and 20% for a subdued colour palette.

Incorporating shelves into the walls prevents the loss of valuable square footage. By painting the shelves in a contrasting hue to the walls creates depth and adds the illusion of a larger room such as the contrasting colour palette of ‘Pea Green’ and ‘Cinnamon’.
