Ideas to Make a Small Room Appear Bigger Instantly

Change the room arrangement

Place larger pieces of furniture against the walls to maximise the open space and make a small room look bigger. Avoid blocking pathways. When you place your furniture at an angle, it leads the eye along the longer wall.

Create focal point

Make a room look bigger through a focal point: one area or feature that will draw the eye’s attention. For example: In the dining room, that’s probably the table. In the bedroom, it’s the bed.

Make that focal point the star of the room. Arrange the furniture so that focus is drawn to that area, and keep the decor in the rest of the room to a minimum (limit the number of accessories).

Go big with furniture

Use a few large, simple pieces of furniture or accessories in place of several smaller pieces, which makes a small space look cluttered. With open space and large blocks of colour, the room will appear to be more calm and comfortable.

Give Dark colours for small rooms

Contrary to popular belief, you actually don’t have to paint a small room white to make it feel bigger. In a dark, windowless room, painting it a dark colour like black or navy blue will create depth. This is because dark paint colours tend to recede providing the illusion that the wall is further away from you than it really is.

Utilise Hidden Storage

Never waste the storage space in your room. Make use of the room for your needs or also make it a one more living room. So that it will give you one more extra seating in your home.

Balance Your Lighting

Use a few lamps to spread light evenly around the room instead of relying completely on one overhead light.

Having multiple sources of light in a room can make the space feel more expansive. It’s really helpful in rooms that have limited natural light.

Declutter your room

Never Clutter your rooms so that it will look overcrowded and not neat. Even a large room that is cluttered will feel smaller.
