How to visually increase the space of a room?

Each house has a room that I would like to increase. Of course, we cannot just push the walls apart. But to create an optical illusion that increases the space of the room is quite possible.

First of all, you need to get rid of what visually compresses the room, makes it cramped. Try not to use dark walls in the interior, they narrow the space and absorb light, as if they were “crushing” those present in the room. If you have too much furniture, or it is massive, the room looks cluttered and cramped. Also, dark, low-lying curtains would not be the best option for a small room. Another mistake will be too large drawings on the walls. A large drawing is able to "eat" the space.

 So, getting rid of what makes the room smaller, you can use tricks that can add space.

Add more light

Try to choose the color of the walls, curtains, and furniture in light, pastel shades. Such a decision will help to make the room much brighter, add lightness, and visually increase. Also, if you choose curtains to match the light walls, this will add airiness to the room. In addition, pastel colors can soothe and add coziness. Therefore, this technique is ideal for decorating the bedroom.

If the room has low ceilings, a vertical strip on the walls will visually make the ceiling higher, horizontal - will help expand the room.

A strip on the ceiling or on the floor visually lengthens the room. Use mirrors. Reflecting the light and elements of the room, they visually make it more spacious.

A wallpaper can also play a large role: give preference to wallpaper with a fine pattern.

Folding furniture is a good solution. It is very space saving, easy to handle. Ideal for those who need to place a bedroom and a work space in a small room.

 Bright accents will help to make the room's atmosphere more interesting.
They can be cushions, vases, paintings on the walls, etc. Only necessarily bright, juicy color. These elements will attract attention, cheer up. However, there is a danger: a large number of such accents can overload space. Do not add more than 2-3 small bright elements to the same room.

Each of the above techniques can be used individually, any combination with each other. Putting this information into practice will help add coziness to your home.
