Decorate to Make a Small Space Seem Larger
Many homeowners today have not had the great fortune to build their own dream homes. Instead, most of us have purchased homes built years ago which creates the issue of having to accept things the way they are unless we can do a home remodeling project to make big changes.
Small rooms are often part of the package when we purchase a pre-owned home. If knocking out walls is not in the near future for you, here are some tips to help you create the look of a larger room in a small space.
Paint with Lighter, Brighter Colors
Lighter colors reflect more light than darker colors and help to enhance the effect of natural light as well. When choosing your wall colors for small rooms, think light and bright.
Painting Your Moldings
Many people choose white molding and you can’t go wrong with this option if your room is small. Even if you choose off-white or a creamy shade lighter than your walls, you will be going in the right direction.
Choose Furniture That Fits the Room Size
Obviously, if you put big overstuffed furniture into a small room, you won’t have much space left. So go for the furniture that is more suitable for a smaller area. Stick with simple lines and slim shapes to optimize your space.
