it's a common misconception that white (as well as cream and beige) is the best choice to brighten up a small space. yes, it is somewhat true if you have huge windows with plenty of natural light. in fact, it can double up the brightening factor and will make your space appear larger. however, if you are stuck in a small space with zero to minimal natural light, white walls will only look dingy. no amount of mirrors, reflective surfaces, or play on lighting will work.
solution? pick a rich color that will absorb all shadows such as navy, jewel inspired colors, warm oranges and reds - or if you're brave enough, why not black? don't be afraid to experiment with paint. it's just paint anyway, and you can always change it anytime.
