Monochromatic Paint
When designing your bedroom, coordination is very important. When you use monochromatic paints it creates flow and space. If you paint your room with different colors it will make it seem like there are different sections or portions of the room, which will make it feel smaller. So it is important to choose the right paint that is monochromatic and coordinates with the rest of your bedroom.
Paint The Trim A Slightly Lighter Color
