Small rooms can give a feeling of being cramped and will make some people feel claustrophobic. Luckily, there are some decorating tricks you can use to make a small room feel more roomy.
Paint the walls white or a light neutral color to open up the space and create a restful feeling. Using light colors for furniture, curtains and bedding will also help make the room seem larger.
Use bright colors for focal points. Examples include bright pillows, cushions, accessories and wall art.
Keep furniture and accessories simple and clean. Avoid creating a sense of clutter with too much furniture or too many accessories.
Provide storage options that will allow you to hide items that aren’t used every day. This will contribute to an uncluttered room. For example, add a bed or table with built-in storage.
