on the ceiling to make the room appear much taller!
1 Wallpaper the ceiling via simphomeWhen you do this, there is a plethora of routes to be taken. You can select the color you would prefer on a personal level, which is a lot more “customizable” than most options. Anything that can draw the human eye towards the ceiling of your room, will help it appear bigger. If you’ve always pondered how to make the most out of such a tiny space, these tips will help immensely. Detail!

2. Use lighter colors on both your walls and floors

2 Painting ideas Use lighter colors on both your walls and floors via simphomeDarker colors will make it seem as if the room is closing in on you (or in some cases, comfortably cozy!), whereas lighter colors will make things appear more open. They reflect light and allow the room to have an airy sense about it, which is wonderful for making it seem larger.

3. DON’T put furniture up against walls

3 DON’T put furniture up against walls via simphomeWhen you put your furniture up against a wall, it will make everything feel like it’s stuck together. In order to combat this, you must push your furniture away from the walls creating a sense of space (some would even consider it an illusion of sorts!). Your furniture deserves better than that, anyways; you probably paid a pretty penny for it. Unless you had a customized console table, of course! More info!

4. Hidden storage

It’s minimalism at its finest! You can find hidden storage compartments of all kinds on the internet, and you could even turn it into a DIY project; creating storage space under your bed or couch has never been this fun. If you spot an item at a furniture store that handles more than one process, it’s probably going to be beneficial for your small space. Source

5. Shelves near the ceiling

When you’ve got various accessories located higher up on the wall (near the ceiling), people are going to take notice; the most obvious ones to implement would be shelves.

Any sort of shelf is not only useful for the storage of books, and many other trinkets; but it’s great for making the room appear a bit larger. Even the smallest rooms in the world can seem comfortably sized with a few shelves near the ceiling. In most cases, you can just build them yourself!

6. “The Cantaloupe Rule

You may have heard of this before, which is good; this rule is when all of the accessories within your small room, need to be larger than a cantaloupe.
the cantaloupe rule via simphomeIf you have an abundance of trinkets and other things (like vases or anything of that nature) that are small, it’s going to make the room feel crowded with fewer pieces at a larger scale, the room will open up and allow people to breathe a little better.

You can buy bigger vases just about anywhere, but some will tickle your fancy more than others. More info!

7. Striped Floors?

8. Go with the unexpected arrangement

When you use a generic arrangement, it isn’t going to do anything to the room; you have to take some chances. Break the rules! If you feel like putting a Lazyboy armchair in the middle of the room, so be it; just make sure that everything comes together in a reasonable manner.

9. Hide accent pieces away until you need them for guests

9 Hide accent pieces away until you need them for guests via simphomeIf guests aren’t around and you have several accent pieces that take up a decent amount of space, it’s probably better off for you to keep them stored away until guests arrive. You’ll need more surfaces to host dinner parties and such on when the guests come over, but for regular living, there’s no need to crowd your living space in that sense. It will give you a better to everyday living.

10. Avoid heavy materials

When you have a lack of light, it’s going to seem that much smaller; which is why you need to avoid heavy materials. These materials will suck up most of the light, leaving you very little to work with!
