Ideas to make a small room look bigger…

The small rooms can be overwhelming and uncomfortable but, fortunately, we can use some design concepts to fool the eye and make them appear larger.

1. Use light colors: light-colored walls are more reflective, which helps maximize the effect created by natural light. However, this does not imply that the walls have to be white, there is a whole range of paints in bright colors.
After choosing the color of the walls, you have to choose colors and trim cuts. Should choose the same tone for the walls or a slightly lighter color. Colored objects appear closer, while the dark seem more distant. When painting the trim a lighter color, the wall appears to be farther away, making the room look larger.

Dark colors can be used in furniture, artwork and accessories.
Be careful when using wallpaper, solid colors are the safest. Regardless of color or finish of the walls ideal in small rooms is to paint the ceiling white to maximize clarity.

2. Place mirrors: the mirrors can cause a favorable impact on the appearance of a room. A large mirror will reflect light around the room, both natural and artificial, to increase clarity and making the room appear wider. They are especially effective when placed near a window.

Use cabinet doors with mirrors or glass front to make the space seem more spacious and clear.

3. Place furniture on angles: place one of the largest furniture at an angle. It is not necessary to place it in a precise angle of 45 degrees, often a lesser angle looks best if you can balance the vision with other furniture. This works because the longest line of any room is to the diagonal, place the furniture at an angle leads the eye toward a wider distance. As a bonus, also get some storage space in the left corner behind the furniture.

4. Buy furniture at: choose furniture according to the size of the room. If the room is small furniture to the smallest and easiest to avoid overloading the space. There are shops devoted exclusively to the sale of furniture for apartments and small houses. Regardless of the size is slightly lower, small furniture is very nice.

An open headboard is best for a small room. To furnish spaces should be kept clear at eye level. The largest furniture should be placed at the back of the room, opposite the entrance.
