If
you have a small room, do not get frustrated, make it appear larger with
several easy steps.- Take a look around the room and grab a bag to dispose of the clutter. Reducing unnecessary stuff, will make the room look larger.
- Paint the walls a lighter color to open up the room.
- If you have too much furniture, remove some of it.
- Take extra pieces to another room or two and focus on using the basics and only furnishings that actually fit the room. Stay away from oversized pieces in a small space.
- Find storage for clutter in ottomans or coffee tables.
- Open up the window blinds to let in natural light and hang some mirrors to reflect light and create an illusion of more depth in the room.
- Use plain neutral colored fabrics for upholstered pieces and if you want additional texture or design, use pillows or throws as accents.
Using
some of these steps will create the illusion of more space in a room by
creating more floor space.
