1. Keep It Small and Low
Balance is important when it comes to home renovation. This should already be obvious but big, chunky furniture pieces do not fit well in tight quarters. Therefore, the best bet is to avoid them whenever possible. The only exception is if the furniture is a multi-functional unit that serves one or more purposes such as having a TV feature wall that also serves as a showcase cabinet while offering added storage space. Instead, opt for pieces of furniture that are low to the ground as this keeps the sightline lower and make your ceilings appear taller.
2. Mirror Mirror on the Wall
Mirrors are your best friend when you want to make a room appear bigger. When designing small spaces, interior designers often utilise mirrors to increase visual space, so you can be assured that this is a proven method. First off, mirrors have a reflective nature, which means that they can effortlessly transform a compact space to look brighter and more spacious. Compact rooms can also be quite claustrophobic, so hanging a large mirror helps to open up the space. Also, mirrors are relatively inexpensive which helps you to keep your budget in check!
3. Let There Be Light
We cannot emphasise enough on the role that light (be it natural or artificial) plays in adding visual space to your home. Light brightens up a room, which instantly tricks the eye to perceive the room as being spacious and open. For rooms that do not have enough sunshine spilling through the windows, you can compensate by adding artificial lighting, in the form of minimal pendants and modern chandeliers. Just simple touches like this will work wonders in creating a brighter vibe for the room.
