Im replacing the shoe rack in my hallway with the small Billy bookcase and door, but I can’t decide on a colour.

The wall behind it is white so my current shoe rack is white and I like how it sorts of blends in, but would the space feel bigger or smaller with a brown one bookcase?

I’m renting so can’t change the walls or floors. The whole place is pretty much black and white and I’m trying to keep a gothic aesthetic
