10 Interior Design Tricks to Make a Small Space Look Bigger


Living in a small space doesn’t mean you have to feel cramped or cluttered. As someone who lives in a small space myself, I’ve learned a few design tips that can really transform your environment. 

Whether you're working with a studio, a one-bedroom, or just a small room in your home, here are ten tricks that will help you make it feel more open, airy, and spacious.
 

1. Bright color palette

The very first thing to consider is your color palette. Bright and neutral colors are your best friends in a small space. Whites and light tones reflect more light, making the room feel airy and larger than it actually is.

On the other hand, dark colors absorb light, which can make the room feel cramped and uncomfortable. Personally, I always recommend white. It’s classic, clean, and incredibly effective in opening up a room.
 

2. Mirrors

Mirrors are a secret weapon in interior design. They reflect both natural and artificial light, which helps brighten a room and create the illusion of depth.

I love placing mirrors on wardrobe doors or even leaning them against a wall. You can also find mirrored furniture pieces, like drawers and chests.

The reflective surfaces give the illusion of a continuous space, tricking the eye into seeing a room that feels much bigger.


3. Multifunctional furniture

When you're short on space, every piece of furniture should earn its spot. I always go for multifunctional furniture like beds with storage underneath or ottomans that double as coffee tables. Read more...
