Your question: What color should I paint my open floor plan?

Choose one color palette to flow throughout your entire space. A good general rule is to select and stick to one palette of three to five colors – one white or light color, one to two neutrals, and one to two supporting colors – that can relate to each other.

How do you choose an accent wall for an open floor plan?

Does GREY make a room look bigger?

Gray can make a room feel cave-like if not used in appropriate ways. It is, however, possible to make a gray space feel large and expansive by using a monochromatic decorating scheme. The result is a room that feels larger than its measurements indicate.

Where do you stop painting a room?

Corners. As you leave the stairs and enter an adjoining room, a common or shared wall continues until it reaches an inside or outside corner. The corner point can be a great place to end one color and begin the next, but consider the type of corner you’re dealing with and your chosen colors.
