8 Ingenious tricks on how to make a small living space seem bigger

1. Pick short furniture

Shorter furniture gives the great illusion of a higher ceiling and a higher ceiling means a bigger room that you will adore. So go for small pieces of furniture, coffee table, couch, ottoman, everything that will make your ceiling feel higher.

2. Go as high as you ceiling

Shelves can go everywhere, even on top of door, and storing everything higher and higher will help you gain the space you need. Pick a high library, a high shelf for decorative objects and store objects up rather than down: lamps, frames, books, magazines.

3. Transparency is always a key

A plexiglass or transparent object such as a dining table, a shelf or a coffee table will give any object the illusion of floating in thin air. So, in this way your whole space will seem less cluttered.

4. No more sofas

Replace the regular or sectional sofas with an armchair or a designer chair that look pretty and save a lot of space. You can also place them around the room and not need a huge space for sitting (like in case of a normal sofa).

5. Double purpose

Use an extensible table in your dining area or chests or ottomans as a coffee table. Everything that has a double meaning or its functional, it’s perfect for a small space.
