7 Foolproof Ways To Make a Small Space Look (And Feel) Bigger

If you have a small space or room you know that it comes with challenges, like where you should fit all of your stuff, but a small space can have its advantages. For instance, a small space is easier to decorate, clean, and organize. Plus, we are sharing 7 foolproof tips that make your home feel bigger, open and inviting.

These simple tips are easy and best of all, no remodeling is required!

Get Rid of Clutter

The best way to make a small space feel more cramped is by having too much stuff and cluttered areas. We recommend getting rid of items that you no longer need or use, and finding new ways or methods to organize your items. This will help your home feel more open, and it will help you relax!

Add a Mirror

Adding a mirror to your space can easily make your room look larger. Mirrors add perspective by bringing in a lot of light that tricks the eye into seeing the room as larger. When it comes to adding a mirror in your home, you can try a mirror in your entryway over a console table or use a full-length mirror to create the illusion of more space and height!

Let in the Light

Light can easily transform the look and feel of your space. To make your room appear larger, get rid of dark draperies, add more light sources to help brighten and open up your home.

Create Balance and Dimension

Emphasizing the height or width of a room can make the space feel larger. If you have a room with higher ceilings, you can focus on highlighting the vertical space by using items that complement that space like a tall bookshelf. If you have lower ceilings, you can do the opposite.

Be Mindful of Colors

Using color in your space helps add depth and dimension. Some of our favorite colors to help open up space are white, gray, beige, or greiges. When it comes to choosing colors to paint your walls, dark colors absorb light which can make your space look smaller. However, softer tones and shades of colors can brighten the room!

Use Multifunctional Pieces

After 2020, investing in furniture that had many purposes was essential as our kitchens turned into classrooms and living rooms turned into home offices. Choosing furniture pieces that serve many functions is an easy way to reduce clutter and save space for a clean look.

Longer drapes

When it comes to making your home feel more spacious, typically designers will recommend not using any window treatments or coverings as they can make the room feel smaller. However, there are some tricks that you can implement to make the space seem taller than it is. All you have to do is use drapes that reach all the way to the floor. This tricks the eye into thinking the walls are taller.
