Most Filipino homeowners do not have the luxury of making structural changes or major renovations in their homes. Some examples would be adding a room, opening up a wall, making a new bathroom out of an existing space, or change existing window or door placements. There are implications of structural work like changes to load-bearing elements that would require you to get an experienced contractor for such renovation projects.
However, there is something you can do to visually alter the space and size of a room that is simple, easy, and cost-effective. All you need to do is to use paint to help you with all these “illusions.”
Boysen Paint Transforms Spaces
This is one of our IG favorite videos because it shows in a very simple way how paint can transform the visual shape and size of a room in just a few seconds. So if ever you are thinking of how small your condo is, for example, don’t despair, paint can help you “open” it up. Choose two colors—one light and one dark—and let the paint do its magic. I suggest you save this video and share with family and friends who may be needing this advice.
Painting Spaces 101
In this video, Dave shows how paint can make a space look bigger, longer, or narrower without breaking down any walls.
Beyond knowing that light paint colors can make a room look bigger, or that dark colors make a room more intimate, there are other ways you can use paint colors for more transformations, like superheroines Elasti-Girl or Mystique who can shapeshift from tiny to towering. This is hyperbole, of course. Boysen can’t achieve such great feats but it does have the power to change the shape and size of a room.
In just over two minutes, Dave shows the magic that paint can achieve depending on where you use dark or light paint colors.
