5 Ways to Make Your Room Look Bigger

1. Play with light and dark colors

It is a well known fact that you can make your small room look large by using lighter pastel shades for your wall paint. Using too many dark colors on the wall tend to make rooms look much smaller than what they are. You can paint your walls and moldings in lighter colors and use dark colors for the borders. Doing this will make the walls look pushed back, enhancing the sense of more space.

2. Remove the embellishments that cramp up your room

Do you have many photo frames, wall hangings, souvenirs and other knick knacks lying around on table tops or shelves in your small room? They’re the culprits of making your room look closed in. So tie your hair up and get ready for some spring cleaning. Removing the clutter will give your room a minimalist look and will make it appear larger.

3. Use multi function furniture to aid utility and space

The variety of multi function furniture available in the market today is mind boggling. Instead of picking a separate book shelf, coffee table, lamp table, magazine rack and a side table, pick a furniture piece that includes all of these. This will mean that lesser furniture occupies space in your room, making your small room look large.

4. Keep your walls and furniture in the same color family

In larger spaces contrasting walls and furniture can look excellent, but if you want to make your small room look large, contrasts won’t help you. Make sure that your walls and your furniture adjacent to it are in the same color family so that they appear to blend in with each other and not look like separate pieces.
5. Use light upholstery

Heavy velvet and satin upholstery may look lovely in commercials and in stores, but using them in small spaces can be a disaster. To make your small room look large, you must steer clear of such materials and fabrics, whether it is for cushion covers, curtains or drapes. Keep it light, is the mantra.

There's nothing that makes a small space feel cramped more than having too much stuff. Work out ways to get collections out of view, organized behind doors, table skirts, or on shelves. With things neatly arranged and out of sight, the space that is in view will feel orderly and open. Also light painting would look good.
