Scale it Down

Properly sized furniture is key to making your room appear bigger.  Furniture that isn’t in proportion to the room will look overwhelming and cluttered.  Use large statement furniture, avoid heavy pieces, and choose furniture that is lower to the ground to elevate the room.

Items to Avoid vs. Items Needed

Certain items that take up unnecessary space and adds “stuff” to the room are drapes and rugs.  Curtains and drapes eliminate space by obstructing your view out the window and large rugs give the impression of a smaller room by outlining the space.  To make a room seem bigger, use mirrors.  Mirrors create a greater sense of openness by reflecting light and creating an illusion of more square footage.  Large artwork or pictures hung will add depth and make the walls seem higher.  Furthermore, use furniture with exposed legs to bring in more movement and space to the room.

Keep it Simple

Eliminate clutter and give the appearance of space by utilizing hidden storage or multi-functional furniture.  Using baskets or hidden components to store toys, DVDs, blankets, etc. will make any room look less cluttered and larger.  Keep it simple and maximize space by having less furniture, belongings, and busy patterns in each room.
