1. SIMPLE COLOR SCHEME

The main thing to keep in mind when designing a small room is to make sure that all the shades stay in the same color palette, thus creating flow throughout the room. The space appears to be continuous when only one color is used. For best results, use pastel shades, and always remember that a brighter room will feel larger and more inviting. The reflective properties of the pastel shades help to open up the space and make it appear light and airy. Try painting the wall trim and moldings in a lighter color than the walls, which will also make the walls appear further back, making the living room appear larger.

2. MIRRORS

Mirrors are a great way to make a room look bigger. Placing a mirror near a window to reflect the outdoor is especially effective, as mirrors help reflect natural and artificial light on the window. It's a surefire way to add light and brightness. Another benefit of hanging a mirror on the wall is that it reflects the view and entices the eye to perceive the increased space. Use a focal point and tilt the mirror towards it to create the illusion of depth and make the room brighter during the day and night.

3. KEEP YOUR FURNITURE REFINED 

Avoid big, heavy furniture. Using the right furniture is a key way to make a room look bigger. To make a small living room look larger, you will need to remove visually heavy furniture that drains the living room light, as well as bulky and bulky furniture. Not only do they take up too much space in a small room, but they also draw all the attention to that part of the room. If you have tall furniture, place them against the wall so they don't ruin the room. 

Knowing how to buy the right sofa for a small living room will ensure that your space feels as big as possible. For example, extendable dining tables, folding tables, and nesting tables are also good options with multifunctional furniture that can be stowed away when not needed. Keep in mind that tall, bulky furniture can take up valuable space. Choose sofas and chairs with open arms and exposed legs, as it also showcases the legs, allowing space, air, and light to flow around it.

4. WINDOW DRAPES

Window drapes can also affect the size of the space. Dark, thick drapes can block light and create a moody feel in your living room, not conducive to bright schemes. If you do want curtains, consider lightweight fabrics that offer an airy touch. 

You can still play with patterns and colors, just choose light shades and subtle designs. These curtains elevate the living room perfectly, and the design is reflected in the huge checkered rug. It also helps draw attention to another light aspect of the room. Another option is to eliminate curtains, as they only add more visual effect.

5. Decluttering and maximizing storage potential place

Place larger pieces of furniture on the walls to maximize open space and make the room appear larger. If furniture and accessories block the view of the room, it will look cramped. The longest straight line in any room is a diagonal line. When you place the furniture at an angle, it guides the eye along the longer wall. 

You can learn how to make the most of your space by using built-in or multifunctional furniture to make the room appear larger. This gives you a clutter-free place, while also maximizing valuable storage space. Using vertical space is a key way to maximize storage potential while occupying the least amount of space.
