Ways to make a smaller room feel larger

Making that small room feel big!

Clear Out the Clutter

If you have too much stuff it makes the little rooms in your life feel crowded and cramped. You'll feel less stressed if you get rid of a lot of stuff. Organize your desk so the public never sees what you are working on. Collect all incoming mail and put it in a box. Hide your most important paperwork and files in a cabinet that is only accessible to you. 

Let in the Light

If your room is small, adding more lighting will make it seem larger. If you have heavy drapes in your home, open them up so you can let more of the light from the sun into your house. Add more lamps or install track lighting or recessed lighting. 

Add Reflective Surfaces

Place a large framed mirror on a wall, or hold an oversized framed mirror against a wall. This will reflect the room and its light, resulting in a more open feeling. Choose a mirrored coffee table, or go for a mirrored side table or mirrored chest of drawers for similar results.

Buy Furniture With Legs

One way to make a room appear larger is to show as much of the floor as possible. Your brain makes the assumption that a bigger room means more floor space. It works in your favor if you are able to see more of the floor area. When wanting to make sure more of the floor is visible, furniture with taller legs is a good idea for a small room.

Create a focal point

Creating a focal point will make a room appear larger and give it more presence. It's one thing to have a pretty picture on the wall, but quite another to have that pretty picture be the main attraction in the room. If there is nothing else to catch the eye, the mind wanders begins to take in the rest of the room. 

Hang Curtains Close to the Ceiling

The walls and windows look taller when curtains are hung close to the ceiling. In a small space, making the ceiling feel higher will help to make the room feel bigger. This trick is used in many hotel rooms to give the illusion of a bigger space. 

Use a Neutral Color Scheme

Tone-on-tone woven upholstery fabrics and textured wall finishes can be used in the same family of colors. Cool colors and delicate warm colors make a small room look more open. Using these colours along with a sense of unity will enlarge the feeling the the room. 

Take Advantage Of A View

If you have a room that has a view, arange the room so that all eyes are on the windows via the way the seating arrangement is set up. You don't notice the size of the space with a good view of the outdoors.

Remove a Wall

One of the best ways to make a room feel larger is to remove a wall. It will let in more light and create a larger sense of space. If you have a smaller kitchen or bathroom, think about removing the dividing walls to increase the usable space. Removing a wall can create open plan living where formerly there was none.
