How to make a small space feel larger

Aside from tearing down a wall, there isn’t much more you can do to make your room bigger. But it is possible to make it seem larger. All you have to do is have a clear decor scheme and your room will look more airy and spacious. Here’s how to do it:

Walking space
If you are trying to add space to your bathroom you need to clear the walkways. Pick up any unnecessary items off the floor and find a storage place for them. Then reassess your furniture situation. Sometimes a small table in the bathroom can make the room feel cramped. In other instances, you can reduce the size of your kitchen table to a smaller option that leaves more walking space in the room.

Large fixtures
For a small space it is best to settle on a few large fixtures like a clawfoot tub and its antique bath fixtures. For the kitchen your statement piece can be a farmhouse sink and vintage faucets. Additionally, you can bring in wall-to-wall curtains or drapes, which helps trick the eye into thinking your space is larger.

Oversized artwork
Fool the eye into thinking your room is larger by bringing in extra large pieces of artwork. This helps cut down on the visual noise and clutter caused by having too many pieces in one room.

Accentuate your room
Lastly, it’s time to put an emphasis on the core pieces of furniture you have in the room. For the kitchen, add lighting underneath your cabinets so the workmanship of the wood stands out. As for the bathroom, you’ll want to highlight any special features like a vintage tub or large bay windows
