- Make everything seem bigger by painting walls in light colors.
- Use small scale furniture rather than large, overstuffed pieces that will overwhelm the room.
- Use mirrors to create the illusion of more space. One mirror will make an impression, but two facing each other will make a bigger impact by amplifying the semblance of added area and light.
- If you’re thinking of doing any renovations, consider adding a bay window. Not only will it maximize square footage, but it will provide the added bonus of flooding the house with natural light.
- Keep things simple. Clean lines make things feel streamlined and give the impression of openness.
- Take advantage of high ceilings by going vertical with cabinetry. Not only will it draw the eyes up and away from the limited counter space, but it will also provide maximum storage.
- Continue thinking up and not out by utilizing tall bookshelves.
- Use furniture pieces that serve more than one purpose.
- Got stairs? Don’t let the area underneath them go to waste. There are great options for creating extra storage that will be functional and look great too.
- If you’re going to hang curtains, hand them as high as you can to make the ceilings seem higher and extend the rods about 4 inches on either side to make windows seem wider and to allow more light in when they are open.
