Hello guys

I was wondering if you know of a site where they have some recommendation or tips
in regard to how to paint walls ? If say use two colors , which wall or what color will
make impression that the room is smaller or longer. I also have two huge beams on the ceiling.
Pretty large one. Wonder if better paint it in ceiling color or walls color ?

It's a small place , try to at least make it visually larger.

SIlly stuff , I do realize that but I'll appreciate if any of you have some
suggestions.

Thank you

Forget color. Get big mirrors.

Usually, light colors create a feeling that the space is more open and
airy, dark colors that the space is more close and cozy. You can paint
or stain the beams in a contrasting color if they are worth
emphasizing.

If you have ever seen the "painted churches" in Hawaii [the one at
Pu'uhonua O Honaunau (Place of Refuge) is outstanding], the interiors
of these tiny churches use a trompe l'oeil effect, with light colors
on the walls, tapering to deep blue at the peak of the ceiling, to
create an illusion of great depth.

Thank you very much Chris,
Appreciate your feedback.
I have not been to Hawaii but i'll google for images of these churches.

Have a nice weekend
