How to make a small space look BIGGER

Sometimes small rooms can feel confining and uncomfortable. Here are a few clever tricks that fool the eye and make a small space in your home appear much bigger then it really is. 

1.  Colour - Cream colors and icy blues are just a few of the best color combinations that can open up a tiny room into a bigger living area. It is all about illusion. Light colors make your room look bigger and brighter.  

2.  Furniture – furniture can take up a lot of space so to avoid that use multi-function furniture, place large pieces against walls, make sure there is plenty of space between pieces and the ceiling, choose a sofa with open arms and exposed legs, consider a glass coffee table and having some pieces the same colour as the walls.

3.  Lighting - By letting the natural light flow into the room, you will be surprised at how this will open up the room and make it look larger. If you do not have a lot of natural light, you can add some lighting features to the room to make it look bigger.  

4. Tidy/Organized  - There’s nothing that makes a small space feel cramped more than having too much stuff. With things neatly arranged and out of sight, the space that is in view will feel orderly and open. Don’t cover the walls with a lot of pictures.

5. Mirrors - Use a focal point and angle your mirrors towards it, which will give the illusion of depth. The mirrors also reflect both natural and artificial light to make a room brighter during the day and night. They bounce light deep into the room, making it appear larger. This is especially effective with near a window so the outdoors can be reflected. Mirrors on the walls and glass tabletops will make it seem like there’s a more open flow.
