Strategic color schemes!
Light colors (Think white, light gray, cream, yellow, light blue, etc.) give the impression of a room being bigger and brighter while dark colors make a room seem smaller and more intimate.
Mirror tricks!
Mirrors aren’t just decorative accent pieces and a place to take a gander at your own reflection, they’re also a useful tool for creating depth in a smaller space. Angle them right and they can make a room appear expansive. They also reflect natural and artificial light making the room look more open and bright.
Functional furniture!
Furniture doesn’t only have to be something you sit on or place stuff upon, it can double as storage space as well! From ottomans that open up, to beds that include bottom drawers, to coffee tables that have built-in shelving underneath, there are lots of ways to combine both function and fashion when it comes to furniture.

Uncover those windows!
Forget about dark, heavy drapes and other concealing window treatments. Unveil your windows and let in the outside scenery to develop more depth inside of your home. Is keeping the windows completely uncovered too much? Need more privacy than that? A sheer, white drape will obstruct the view into your place while still letting in light to create the voluminous effect.
Declutter!
One sure fire way to make the space around you seem larger is to relocate or get rid of some of the stuff cluttering up that space! Start by throwing away or donating the things you do not need or wish to keep holding on to. After you’ve purged those items, gather up the things you do not need cluttering up your space currently, but that you would like to keep for future use.
