Getting a small area around the house or the entire house to look bigger is possible by following some simple steps.<\/p>\n

1. Repaint the ceiling or use a wallpaper to give the room a taller appearance<\/strong><\/p>\n

It doesn’t matter whether it is your living room, or your bedroom, repainting the ceiling or making use of wallpaper can make a room appear bigger. The trick is that a brightly painted ceiling tends to make you raise your brows upwards which make the room appear large and spacious.<\/p>\n

2. Use light color paint on the walls<\/strong><\/p>\n

When the walls in a room are painted with dark colors, it makes the room seem a bit cozier due to that they absorb light. Whereas when the walls are painted with bright colors, it helps to make a room more spacious since light easily gets reflected around the room.<\/p>\n

3. Ensure furniture’s aren’t placed closed to the wall<\/strong><\/p>\n

Creating space between the wall and furniture creates the illusion of a large room; this makes the room look more open unlike when you place them close to the wall which makes the area look cramped.<\/p>\n

4. Use light colors on the floor also<\/strong><\/p>\n

Just like in the case of a brightly painted wall, a brightly colored floor also gives a room a spacious outlook. You can opt for a floor remodeling if you are up for it or simply just get a brightly colored rug or carpet.<\/p>\n

5. Place shelves close to the ceiling to get people to look up.<\/strong><\/p>\n

You can make a small space look bigger by putting structures in place to draw the eye towards the ceiling. And one effective way you can achieve this is to hang a shelf close to the ceiling. It can be a book shelf or one with an array of decorations that are pleasing to the eyes.<\/p>\n

6. Make use of large decorative accents<\/strong><\/p>\n

Accenting a room with large decorations such as tall vases or handcrafted items can get it to look large. This is because few large decorations in a room give it a detailed outlook unlike when you cramp it up with smaller decorations scattered here and there.<\/p>\n

7. Go for furniture’s that makes a statement<\/strong><\/p>\n

So you want the living room to be a lot spacious to make room for air and light, a simple way to achieve this is to make use of a large couch instead of several small pieces which makes it look a lot cluttered.<\/p>\n

8. Place a striped rug on the floor<\/strong><\/p>\n

This works perfectly in a small bedroom. Placing a striped rug like that of a zebra makes your room appear bigger.<\/p>\n

9. Use color coding on shelves<\/strong><\/p>\n

Arranging items on shelves according to colors makes space looked structured and organized which ultimately gives the room a spacious appeal.<\/p>\n

10. Improve a tiny bathroom with a clear shower curtain<\/strong><\/p>\n

You can give a small bathroom a spacious look by getting a brightly colored shower curtain.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
