No matter how big our houses are, they never seem big enough! When you have a small living room, and you want it bigger, we feel your pain.

We were there, we did, and today we give you some great tips to make it look more spacious. Try some of these nifty tips by an experienced Interior Designer, and it will soon be gone

Use contrasts and light colors that make rooms look bigger

Here’s how you can make a room look more eye-catching with color. It is well known in the design world that light tones make a room appear larger and brighter. Bright, transparent walls are more reflective, making a room feel open and airy, maximizing the effect of natural light. Dark tones tend to absorb light, making rooms appear smaller. Accent walls to make a room appear larger is another option. Accent walls add color to the decor space without looking too intrusive.

What colors make a room appear larger? For the best effect, choose soft tones such as blue, off-white, and green and always remember that lighter rooms appear more welcoming and spacious. And here’s another trick: Try painting your wallcoverings and trim a lighter color than your walls. This makes the walls appear further back, and your living room appears even larger.

Open up your space with creative lighting

Natural light opens up the interior of every room and makes it appear larger. This is great when you have natural light. However, if you don’t, don’t be discouraged. Add some creative effects with lighting accessories. You will be amazed at how this little addition can make a big difference.
If you have access to natural light, you can bring it into your home through large windows to instantly connect the space with the outdoors without further restricting your space. Use sheer curtains for the windows or pull them out completely to let in more light. If visibility is poor, place plants or flowers near windows and use lamps to illuminate the room.

Cut the clutter, keep it organized

Channel your Inner whizz and keep your room neat and organized. Not only will it spark more joy, but nothing makes a small space tighter than too much. When things are neat or out of sight, the room feels organized and open to view.
Minimalism also applies to your walls. Covering your walls with lots of pictures is not a good idea. A large painting works better than a group of small paintings when thinking about how to make a room appear larger.

Maximize your room arrangement

Adapt your furniture to the size of the room. Place larger furniture against the walls to maximize open space and make the room appear larger. Don’t block any path either. If furniture and accessories block the view of a room, it seems small.
The longest straight line in a room is the diagonal. Placing your furniture at an angle will lead your view along the longest wall. Bonus: you often get extra storage space behind the piece.

Create a room within a room

Rugs can be the perfect way to mark the area when you have more open space to work. Not only are they deceiving on the eye because the floor space is larger, but they also make the rooms functional for more than one purpose.
Smaller rugs, dotted on all sides, direct the focus of the eyes so that the bare areas appear more important for peripheral vision. A large, eye-catching rug can reduce space by taking up so much space that the rest of the area is almost invisible.
Use your furniture wisely and mark the spaces in the room along with your rugs. First, create a floor plan to ensure the best possible location.

Get creative with furniture

With the right furniture, a room can appear larger. On the one hand, it uses multifunctional furniture, such as a dresser that can be used as a coffee table, sofa bed or bed with drawers. Extendable dining tables, folding tables, and nesting tables that can be stowed away when not needed are also good options.
Remember that tall, bulky furniture can take up precious space. Choose your chairs and chairs with exposed legs and open arms. This allows light to filter under the furniture and the room appears airier.

Create magic with mirrors

Sometimes the oldest trick in the book is the best! Adding mirrors to a room can be the easiest and cheapest way to maximize space.
Similar to light colors on walls, reflective surfaces act as an expansion of space. For best results, choose the mirror area carefully, such as placing the mirrors in front of the bedroom windows. This reflects the light in the room.
Placing mirrors behind furniture like beds and credenzas areas reflects the objects on the top and deceptively appears to have a completely different section behind them.

Long curtains, higher ceilings

Just because your windows aren’t tall doesn’t mean your curtains have to be. Your curtain length, stripe pattern, and style affect the illusion of height. It is best for a small room with a low ceiling to hang the curtains close to the ceiling and let them extend to the floor. This makes the ceiling appear higher and the room larger.
Suspended shades with long vertical stripes create the illusion of height, which is ideal for low ceilings. However, short curtains and horizontal strips shorten the height of the wall and make the room appear smaller.

Aim high with shelves and pictures

When a room feels bigger, it inevitably feels less cramped. When shelves and wall brackets are set low, this pulls the ceiling down, making it feel tight and tight. Higher ceilings add a much grander feel to the home, so this tip will help expand the space and give it an elegant, luxurious feel
