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.
