Everyone keeps telling me to avoid dark colours, they will make your space feel tiny. My apartment is already quite small, should I just avoid moody tones?

Not at all! Just because a room may be small, does not mean it needs to be white or light. Darker tones can work beautifully to make it seem larger and full of mood. In many ways, it truly embraces the architecture of the space you have. One thing I would recommend is to not ignore the ceiling – a strong tone with a hint of brilliant sheen is an artful opportunity to add contrast and depth to an otherwise boxy or ordinary room. Mouldings also offer the chance to experiment with colour.

I just moved into a new home and, although I know I do not want white walls, I do not know what colour to go for? It feels like a huge commitment. Where do I start?
