Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What is the best paint colour for small spaces?
A. Dynamic and bold colours add architectural interest to modestly sized spaces. Consider vivid, rich colours, which can complement artificial lighting sources to make a powerful style statement in a small space. Dark hallway? Consider using a creamy off-white hue from our Off White Collection to lighten it up.
Q. What is the most common paint colour palette for apartments?
A. If you live in a small rental apartment with several smaller-sized rooms, we love our maximalist paint colour palette to bring diminutive rooms to life. On the other hand, apartment dwellers eager to make their small spaces look bigger often opt for pale and pastel paint colours. Paint colour is personal. There is no one-size-fits-all colour palette for apartments—or any dwelling for that matter!
Q. What is colour blocking?
A. Colour blocking is the use of two or more solid colours to create interesting, dynamic colour combinations. The art of Piet Mondrian is one of the most famous examples of colour blocking.
Q. What is colour zoning?
A. Colour zoning acts as a visual cue to differentiate parts of a room, with no room dividers or walls necessary. By creating specific “zones” of colour, you can make a small space feel larger, while utilizing one room for multiple purposes. One of the easiest ways to colour zone a room is with paint.
In a smaller apartment, high-quality Benjamin Moore interior paints like Ben® Interior or Regal® Select Interior can be used to delineate space for creative colour zoning.
Q. What is an accent wall?
A. An accent wall, also called a feature wall, is painted a different colour from the rest of a room—with eye-catching results. Accent walls are often selected to showcase a room’s focal point, like a built-in bookcase, fireplace, or a key piece of art. Highly saturated rich colours are often favourites picks for accent walls.
