5 Tips to Make Small Bedrooms Look Bigger

Sometimes when your looking to buy a home, small bedrooms can be a deal breaker. However, they don’t have to be! There are plenty of ways to make a small bedroom appear larger than it actually is. Take a look at our top 5 tips below.

Paint the Walls Light Colors

Bright colors will reflect light and make the room appear more open and airy. Dark colors will only absorb the light and make a room feel more closed in.

Put Light Colored Drapes Higher Up on The Wall

Hanging your drapes higher up on the wall above the window will give an illusion of taller ceilings. Using a light color drape will allow more natural light inside the room and make it feel more open.

Less Is More

There is no need for unnecessary furniture that does not serve a purpose. Having space saving furniture that doubles as storage is a great way to free up some space in your small bedroom. Opt for a bed that has plenty of storage room underneath and out of site or a nightstand with plenty of inside storage space.

Hang Mirrors

Mirrors are a great, inexpensive way to make a room feel much bigger. After all, everyone needs a full-length mirror in their bedroom to check out their outfit! Some ways to incorporate mirrors include: mirrored closet doors, mirror over your dresser, framed mirror on the wall, etc.

Choose Light Linens

Choosing a light, solid color bedspread will help visually enlarge your space. Your bed is typically the largest piece of furniture in your room so sticking to a light comforter with small prints or subtle pops of color will make it feel more open.
