Home » How To Make Your Bedroom Look Bigger

As land gets scarcer, apartments become smaller.

Small bedrooms are becoming the norm. What do you do if your bedroom feels cramped? How can you make it look and feel more spacious?

 

Can you paint the walls?

 

Light colors make a room look bigger. White, beige or cream walls, or walls painted in cool pale colors give the room an airy, spacious feel.

 

If you want a futuristic look right out of a sci-fi movie, painting the room white and using glass or at least, colorless plastic furniture for everything and lining the mirrors would do the trick. It would make the room look a lot more spacious than it really is.

 

Another thing to do no matter what look you go for, is to declutter your room. Piles of paper, clutter on tables and everywhere else makes the room feel crowded. Throw out what you don't need and keep only what you really need. Keep surfaces clear. Hide things in drawers or in built in cabinets. Declutter the shelves and arrange things in an orderly manner with space between each group of books or magazines for visual appeal. With less clutter, your room would look more spacious.

 

Lining the wall with mirrors is another way to make the room look twice as big. That is one of the trickes mentioned in the article on how to make a small room look big. Mirrors reflect light. Not only that. Mirrors that span from one end of the wall to another, give the illusion that the room is twice as big.

 

Make the most of hidden spaces in the room. Is there an unused corner in the room? Is there space under the window? Put a shoe rack there. Two people sharing a bedroom? Get a double decker bed.

 

Choose your bed carefully as that has the most impact on the look and feel of the room. How to choose a bed gives you tips on bedroom decorating regardless the size of your room. Or you could use inflatable beds that you only take out at night. Or foldable beds that are hidden during the day.
