HOW TO MAKE A SMALLER ROOM FEEL LARGER

HOW TO MAKE A SMALLER ROOM FEEL LARGER

How can you make smaller rooms feel larger?  Some designers shared their ideas:

  1. Painting a room in a darker, cool-toned matte can make it feel like the walls are receding.
  2. Floor-to-ceiling built-ins reduce visual clutter and create a more open, streamlined look.
  3. Painting the ceiling the same color as the walls draws your eyes up and creates the illusion of higher ceilings.
  4. A small-scale, simple wallpaper motif can make a room feel larger.
  5. Large scale furniture and rugs are associated with larger spaces and can 'trick' the eye to make a small space feel larger.
  6. Breathing room around the perimeter of furnishings, and being able to completely walk around them, will make the space feel roomier.
