Color Capping Trick Transforms Small Living Rooms
Color capping, a trendy technique, transforms small living spaces by creating the illusion of height and spaciousness. Nina Lichtenstein and Kristina Khersonsky, interior design experts, recommend light and neutral colors for this method, which draws the eye upward and adds polish.
The color capping trend involves painting walls and ceiling with graduated shades of the same color. Starting with a light hue at the baseboards, it gradually darkens to a richer shade on the ceiling. This subtle gradient effect creates the illusion of height, making a small living space appear bigger.
Using slightly different tones can highlight original moldings and cornices, or add depth and sophistication to newer spaces. For a cohesive look, choose hues that share undertones and echo them in upholstery, drapery, or accessories. This technique works with virtually any living space color, from soft neutrals to bold, statement hues. Benjamin Moore's Queen Anne Pink, Myrtle Beach, and Firenze are popular choices for color capping in a living space.
Color capping, unlike color drenching, uses subtle gradients rather than one bold hue. It's a flexible technique that can make a small living space feel cozy, inviting, and bigger. Even in a neutral living space, shifting shades at the top can change proportions and create a more dynamic living space color palette.
