Light furniture

Having dark furniture can instantly make a room feel a lot small, especially if this is on large furniture pieces like your couch or bed. If you own a dark couch, you can purchase low-cost couch cover that will instantly lift and light-in your room. In the bedroom, choose light bedding. You will see a massive difference!

Mirrors

This is no secret and is often found in rentals or small apartments. You’ll find entire walls, sliding cupboard mirrors, or kitchen backsplashes covered with mirrors. It works! If you have no mirrors or reflective surfaces, consider adding a large mirror to the room. It not only creates the illusion of space, but mirrors reflect light and will make the room brighter.

Stay organised

Clutter will ruin any space and make it look smaller. If you have a small room, try going minimalist by having fewer decorative accessories around. Also, investing in more multipurpose furniture that can also be used for storage will help. This will keep the extra pieces like books or throws hidden away, but close enough that you can always access them when needed.
