Choose Light Colors
Light colors for the walls, ceiling, and floor (white, beige, light gray, pastel tones) make the space appear larger and brighter. Glossy surfaces help reflect more light throughout the room.
Use Proper Lighting
Instead of relying on a single ceiling light, use multiple light sources (ambient lighting, floor lamps, wall sconces). Opt for daylight-toned LED lights instead of yellowish ones to make the room look more spacious and natural.
Incorporate Mirrors
Large mirrors add depth to the room and reflect light, creating a sense of a wider space. Placing a mirror opposite a window or in a well-lit area enhances the effect.
Minimalist Furniture and Open Design
Avoid bulky and heavy furniture; choose light and multifunctional pieces instead. Open shelving systems and glass elements also make the room feel more open and airy.
Keep Windows as Open as Possible
Avoid thick, dark curtains. Light and sheer fabrics let in more daylight. If you leave the window area uncluttered, the room will appear more spacious.
