Struggling with small rooms? Designers share smart tricks to open up your space:
- Paint walls a darker, cool-toned matte to create a sense of depth and make walls appear to recede.
- Floor-to-ceiling built-ins reduce clutter and give a streamlined, airy feel.
- Paint the ceiling the same color as the walls to draw your eyes upward and mimic higher ceilings.
- Use a small-scale, simple wallpaper motif to add pattern without overwhelming.
- Choose large-scale furniture and rugs—they visually suggest more space.
- Leave breathing room around furniture and make sure you can walk fully around pieces for a more open feel.
