With a few smart steps, you can easily make visually a room bigger.
Use contrasts and bright colors: It is well known that shades of bright colors make a room appear larger. Dark shades absorb light harder, which makes the rooms smaller.
Open up your space with lighting: Natural light opens up the interior of any room and makes it feel bigger. If you don’t have natural light, add some creative effects using various lighting sources.
Tidy up the mess: With things neatly arranged or out of sight, the space will look neater and more open. The rule of minimalism also applies to the walls. Don’t cover the walls with many pictures. One large painting is better than a group of small paintings when thinking about how to make a room look bigger.
Use mirrors: Mirrors reflect both natural and artificial light to make a space brighter during the day and night. It is especially effective if mirrors are placed near windows to reflect the outside world. Get creative with furniture placement: Well-arranged furniture is a key way to make a room appear larger. Use multi-purpose furniture, a chest that can be used as a coffee table, a folding table, a pull-out bed or a bed with storage drawers.
