• B. Room will appear larger than the original room size
• C. Room will look brighter and appear larger than the original size
• D. Room will look brighter

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Concept: Colour psychology and light reflection play an important role in interior perception. Dark colours absorb more light, affecting how spacious a room feels. Explanation:
Dark colours absorb light instead of reflecting it.
This reduces brightness and creates a sense of enclosure.
As a result, rooms painted in dark colours tend to feel smaller and more confined.
Light colours, on the other hand, reflect more light and make spaces appear larger and brighter. Hence, a room painted with a dark colour will appear smaller than its original size.
Final Answer: \(\boxed{\text{Room will appear smaller than the original room size}}\)
