Understanding the exposure of your room can help you choose the best paint color that will complement the natural light and create the right ambiance.

Understanding Room Exposure

North-facing rooms tend to receive the least amount of natural light and can feel chilly and dark. To make the room feel brighter and cozier, consider using warm colors such as beige, warm gray, or light yellow. 

North-Facing Rooms

South-facing rooms receive the most natural light, making them feel bright and warm. However, too much light can make the room feel overly bright and uncomfortable. 

South-Facing Rooms

East-facing rooms receive the most natural light in the morning, making them feel bright and cheerful.However, as the day progresses, the light can become cooler and bluish.

East-Facing Rooms

West-facing rooms receive the most natural light in the afternoon, making them feel warm and cozy. However, the light can be intense and yellowish, which can make the room feel too warm.
