There are some quick and easy tips to help make a small room feel larger.
1. Create hidden storage or use multi-functional furniture, if you can eliminate clutter you give the appearance of space
2. Hang floor to ceiling curtains will instantly make your ceilings look higher, although equally removing curtains altogether can create more space
3. Paint your walls and ceilings the same colour
4. Create negative space, don’t fill all the space on a sideboard or on shelves
5. Use several lamps to spread light around a room instead of relying on one overhead light, it can really make a room feel more expansive
6. Large area rugs help rooms to feel finished and create the illusion of more space
7. Pick furniture with exposed legs to give the appearance of a more open space and extra room
8. Place mirrors on walls that lack in natural light
9. Go big with a few larger, simple pieces of furniture or accessories in place of several smaller pieces which make a space look cluttered
10. Avoid the use of heavy materials.
