3 Tips on How to Make a Small Room Look Bigger
Small rooms are quite practical, and they are also ideal for a small group of people. While they give off an intimate appeal, one may have a tendency to feel overwhelmed with stuff that he has due to a limited space. Cluttered and cramped rooms are not that pleasing to the eye, but there is always a trick to make your room look bigger. Here are some ideas on how you can create an illusion of a larger and spacious room:
1. Flooring
Different flooring in every room makes individual rooms appear smaller as they chop up the visual space. To unify the look of your rooms and to create a visually wider expanse of space, use the same flooring across the whole area of your house.
2. Colors
A cohesive color scheme will give your home a sense of flow. When choosing a color palette, always select pale, natural colors as they have a tendency to make your home appear airy and spacious. Also, to visually expand a room, you may opt to paint the walls of with light neutral colors.

Reflective surfaces bounce around the light. Thus, glossy flooring, lacquered furniture, or mirrored surfaces can create light and depth, naturally making a room look bigger.
