5 Tips To Make A Room Look Bigger

Whether it’s your living room, bedroom, or any other room in your home, you want it to look as grand as it can be. Below we’ve shared some simple tips to make a room look bigger than it actually is.

Fill The Room With As Much Natural Light As Possible

Open your windows as much as you can, or better yet, or better yet, ditch the drapes all together and leave your windows uncovered with a simple blind or roller shade for privacy. Natural light tricks the eye into seeing more depth and makes a room look bigger.

Decorate With Large Mirrors

Mirrors are a somewhat magical decoration. Mirrors reflect light, both natural and artificial, which means adding a mirror bounces light into the room and makes it appear bigger and brighter. Mirrors are also an optical illusion – they trick the eye and give an illusion of depth.

Use Furniture With High Legs

The longer the legs of a sofa or table, the higher it is off the ground, which allows for light to move around underneath. Light opens up the space around furniture and gives the illusion there’s more space than there truly is.

Paint With Light Colours

Dark walls are definitely beautiful, but they tend to make a room look closed up and smaller than it really is. Light colours keep a room airy and open, thus, making it look like a bigger room.

One Large Piece Is Better Than Many Small Pieces

It’s a misconception that smaller pieces make a room look bigger by default, but a few small pieces make a room look empty and too many small pieces make a room look closed and cluttered. One large piece will make a room look much bigger than a few (or many) small pieces will.

A few simple changes can give any room the illusion of being bigger. Follow these easy tips to transform your small kitchen, small living room, or small bedroom into looking bigger.
