5 Ways to Make a Small Room Feel Bigger
We’ve all heard the trick about adding multiple mirrors to a space to make it appear bigger but there are other steps you can take to give the illusion of more space!
<strong>1. Use light colors</strong> – Decorating in dark colors makes a room look and feel smaller. By keeping the walls white or a light neutral shade it will appear larger.
<strong>2. Make room for natural light</strong> – Open the curtains and blinds and make way for natural light! This will brighten up your space and having the windows open makes any small room feel bigger.
<strong>3. Reduce your clutter</strong> – Make sure you aren’t over-doing it in the decorating department and only display minimal decor. Having too many knick knacks and pieces of furniture in a small room will make it feel closed off.
<strong>4. Rearrange the furniture</strong> – Don’t stick with your original layout! Every once in a while its a good idea to rearrange the furniture in a room to see if there’s a better way to set up. Maybe you’ve been missing out on lots of extra floor space and you didn’t even know it!
<strong>5. Buy multi-functional pieces</strong> – Instead of having a coffee table, an ottoman and an end table in your living room, maybe search for a piece of furniture that can take on all three roles. This will save you both money AND space in your home.
