By painting their homes in the right manner, people might be able to make their interiors look bigger than they actually are, it is believed.
Commenting in an article published by Cosmopolitan, interior design expert Eric Cohler has noted that householders do not necessarily need to steer clear of darker shades, as long as they are applied correctly.
He stated: "Most people stay away from dark-coloured paint, but if you use a deep hue on only your ceiling or one wall, it helps it recede."
This may create the impression that a room is more spacious than it actually is in reality, he added.
Meanwhile, those looking to complement their
panel blinds by repainting their homes may be interested to note that Mr Cohler has suggested in his article that consumers might also benefit if they opt for lighter shaded items such as vases.
Home improvements are often being made by women these days, DIY expert Francesca Gamble recently noted.
