If you are feeling too cramped whenever you enter that small room at home, then you may have considered adding some extra space. Unfortunately, adding space also means spending cash on renovation. If you are quite tight on your budget, but you still want to make your room look bigger, here are some tips you can do to bring out the illusion of a bigger room.
Did you know that the right choice of paint color can help make a room look and feel bigger? According to Trulia, going for the right shade and painting certain areas accordingly can help give your small room a bigger look and feel.
Light colors and neutrals are said to be the best choice of color if you wish to give your room a virtual expansion. Bold colors will also do as long as you pair them with the right accessories and furniture pieces.
"The key is to remember to balance out that color with softer neutrals so that the room is not overwhelming," says designer Anne Miller.
Another trick is to pain the walls and trim with the same color. According to the aforementioned publication, the key to giving off an illusion of a bigger room is to match the color of the walls and trim.
"The more transitions you have in a room, the more the eye stops at those points - for example, at the window, door, or casing trim," said designer Charlotte Lucas.
Choosing the right accessories and furniture pieces, which help lighten the room, can also help boost the size of your space. As previously reported here on Realty Today, there are certain ways in which you can brighten your room.
The addition of a big mirror in your room will not only help brighten up your space, it will also give the illusion of a bigger space. Crystal photo frames or sparkly objects also do the same trick.
