Tips For Making Your Room Seem Bigger

These are some of our tips to help you make your room seem bigger!

Colours

Your colour choice is also important for making a space feel less cramped. In general, darker colours will contribute to a space looking smaller. If you’re looking to make your bedroom seem bigger, white, off-whites, pastel colours and light neutral tones can help to give the illusion of a larger, brighter room.


Gloss coats of paint will have a higher sheen and are more reflective than matte paints, so gloss paint colours will give the illusion of more light too.

Mirror, Mirror On The Wall

Mirrors are also great for enhancing the illusion of a larger room. They do a great job of reflecting light and depth which makes your room appear bigger. Having more than one mirror can do wonders for opening up your bedroom with this optical illusion.


A nice combination of floor mirrors and hanging wall mirrors can be a good way to keep your room looking interesting while enhancing the amount of light.

Lighting

Speaking of enhancing light, your bedroom lighting is a vital part of opening up your room. If you have a lot of natural light coming into your room, this is great for making your bedroom seem bigger (especially if you have mirrors too). If there’s not too much natural light in your room, try and keep your window area clear so that light can get in and try to maximise on reflective surfaces or light colours.

Consider Your Furniture

When it comes to freeing up as much space as possible, you may want to start thinking about your bedroom furniture. From storage beds to ottomans, there are a range of multitasking furniture choices that double up as discreet storage spaces.


You can also think about sliding or bespoke wardrobes which enhance your storage space without infringing on your floor space too much.

Use Vertical Space

You may not want to use up floorspace, especially if your room is on the smaller side. So, utilising vertical space is a great way to get around this. Shelving, tall stacking units and floor to ceiling wardrobes can help by giving you more storage options while taking up the least amount of floor space.
