1. One of the best ways to start is by adding a mirror to any wall in the subject room!  As it reflects artificial and natural light, it actually makes the room appear bigger and brighter than it truly is.  This is also a very cost effective way to improve a room’s size and makes for a beautiful piece of wall decor.

2. Rather than dark, solid curtains, choose a lighter, sheer curtain to keep your windows bright and open.  Again, a light filled room enhances the size and feel of those smaller rooms in your home.

3. Believe it or not, but raised furniture without skirts can drastically improve the size of any room!  This allows light to pass below your furniture, thus giving you a bigger, brighter room.

4. Clutter can possibly be one of the biggest hindrances to making a small room feel larger.  Extra, unneeded items make a room look half its actual size, so clean out and get organized!

5. As you choose your wallpaper or rugs, solids and neutrals are the way to go.  Busy patterns and multiple colors will give your room that cluttered feel you’re trying to avoid!

6. By placing furniture up against walls and on the outskirts of a room, you open up the space which allows for more movement and makes a room feel larger.  Also, never let your furniture block walkways — keeping a room open and inviting will greatly improve the space!

7. Choosing multi-purpose pieces will allow for more storage, less clutter, and therefore, a larger space.  The less furniture you have in your room, the better!

After you put into practice one or all seven of these simple strategies, you will certainly increase the space in your rooms and create a more inviting home to live in!  These are also great ways to get your home ready to go on the market.  If you or someone you know is planning to seller their home, please call The RED Team! We specialize in all areas of Real Estate and would be happy to assist you!
