How to make a small bedroom with black wooden floor feel more spacious?

My bedroom is small with only one window for natural lighting.
The wall color is now plain white with the contrasting black wooden floor.

I'm planning to have a built-in storage like this:

What color furniture would be more suitable for dark floors?
Should I leave the wall white? (I prefer not to but I'm afraid the room might look less spacious).

What else can I do to have maximum storage and still have a spacious room.
Would lighting help?

Thanks for sharing your ideas! :)

Answer
As you mentioned, leaving the walls white will keep the space looking open and larger. Use accessories to bring color to the space instead of painting the walls, and those with reflective surfaces to brighten and direct light around the room. The use of woven scarves or fabric pieces on furniture surfaces can also bring color into the room.

Even the addition of a plush all-white or black-and-white patterned rug would break the dark expanse of the black wood floor, and open the way to painting the walls with a color other than white.

Here is a more permanent change to the small bedroom you describe in the question. Using white skirting or baseboard with white walls and black flooring would help to frame the room, and gives a clean finish to the area. Internet images tend to show this color combination indicating it is the more frequent choice.

You could also use a black skirting or baseboard with the black flooring and white walls. If both the flooring and the skirting or baseboard carry a high shine, this can make the room look bigger; here is an image.
