Choose colours carefully

The colours you choose for your room décor can have a huge effect on how big or small the room ends up feeling. Dark colours, whether paint or wallpaper, can make a small space feel a lot smaller, whilst light colours can help give the impression that it’s bigger.

But this doesn’t mean you have to stick with completely neutral colours on your walls – far from it, in fact. If you want to add colour, do so in tones. Use the deepest tone near the base of your walls, then work upwards, with the lightest tone on your ceiling. This will help your ceiling feel higher and give the perception of a larger room.

It’s also useful to keep things looking consistent in a room by choosing matching furniture, such as cupboards, bookshelves or cabinets in the same wood finish or painted shade, rather than pieces in lots of different colours. Plus a large piece of furniture can be made to appear smaller by being the same colour as your walls.

Invest in mirrors

Mirrors could be your new best friend as hanging a mirror (or two) on the walls can help a room look bigger and lighter.

You don’t have to just stick to hanging mirrors on your walls – try adding mirrored furniture or accessories too. They’ll help bounce light around your room. Just don’t go over board and end up with a completely mirrored room (unless you really want that look!)

Store wisely

Too much clutter in a room instantly makes it look smaller, so it’s a good idea to get creative with your clutter. Find storage ideas that look great and take up minimal space in your room, but also provide plenty of storage potential inside their façade.

In bedrooms, fitted furniture can work wonders, for example, especially if you have it built in around awkward corners where standard furniture might not fit so well. Also think about furniture that will serve two purposes, like a blanket box for storing bedding, but that could also double up as a seat.

Light Fantastic

How much light does your room have? If you’ve got windows, then make the most of them by letting in light. Swap dated net curtains for contemporary blinds so you can angle them and let light in when you need it, yet still retain a degree of privacy.

If you’re not blessed with enough sources of natural light, then use lights to add more. In a bedroom, opt for pretty bedside lights, fairy style lights draped around a mirror or an overhead light with a pendant lamp shade. Or for something fancier, why not hang a chandelier?

Under-counter lights work well in bathrooms with built-in furniture or you could have lights built into a mirror. Little spotlights on the ceiling can create ambiance for night time ablutions, especially if you have them on a dimmer switch.

So there you have it, I’m very sorry if I’m just copy the article for the tips, I’m just thought it will be a great idea for you. Just like me, I also searching to decorate my rooms to feel larger. Any way, you could find another reference, there are plenty of ideas to get you started with to make your room larger. Happy decorating!!
