10 Tips to Make a Small Space Feel Bigger

Sweet Mary Brown


  1. Use Light, Neutral Colors

    Stick to whites, creams, or soft grays for walls and larger furniture pieces. Light colors reflect more light, making the space feel airy and open.



 

  1. Incorporate Mirrors Strategically

    Place mirrors across from windows or in key areas to reflect light and create the illusion of more space.



 

  1. Opt for Multi-Functional Furniture

    Choose pieces like storage ottomans, fold-out desks, or sofas with hidden storage to maximize functionality.



 

  1. Maximize Vertical Space

    Install tall shelves or vertical storage solutions to draw the eye upward and create the feeling of higher ceilings



 

  1. Let Natural Light In

    Avoid heavy drapes; use sheer curtains or leave windows bare to allow sunlight to flood the space.



 

  1. Declutter Regularly

    Keep surfaces clear and avoid overcrowding with unnecessary decor or furniture. Minimalism is key in small spaces.



 

  1. Use Glass or Lucite Furniture

    Transparent furniture like glass coffee tables or acrylic chairs maintain visual flow and reduce visual clutter.



 

  1. Define Zones with Rugs or Lighting

    Use rugs or pendant lighting to create separate zones without physical dividers, keeping the space open but organized.



 

  1. Choose Large Decor Over Small Pieces

    A single large art piece or statement decor creates impact without overwhelming the space.



 

  1. Incorporate Vertical Patterns

    Vertical stripes on walls, curtains, or decor items naturally draw the eye upward, making ceilings feel taller.
