Tip # 1: Choose Light Colors To Make A Room Bigger

If you want to enlarge a space visually, one of the first rules to note is Do whatever you can to put this to pass as bright as possible. Sure, it makes sense that there will always seem to be a spot bathed in the sun greater than a dark space. If you think your living room (or any room in your home in that respect) is too much big and you’d like to have it visually more significant, don’t hesitate to opt for a light color palette, ideal for reflecting light efficiently and giving an impression of space.

Don’t panic: Using light shades doesn’t mean you need to go white from floor to ceiling. If you like, you can obviously bet on a white look (especially if you’re a Zen fan and a sophisticated atmosphere), but if you think the latter is too cold or too hygienic, you know you’re spoiled for options!

For example, you can trust very soft shades of beige or brown such as sand, vanilla beige, linen, champagne, ocher, or even greige.

Likewise, pastel shades (yellow, blue, green) to play with each other on the walls, the ceiling, and even the floor, will immediately give an impression of space.

Then if you ever want to put a warmer together, more vibrant color for contrast, keep your ceiling white and paint one wall a brighter color, in keeping with the pale hues of the other walls.

Tip # 2: Use Contrasting Colors To Make A Room Bigger

Another good idea for decoration is to play the color card contrasts from one wall to another, to give the impression of a larger space. It’s easy to do this: paint the room’s most large wall in a bright color, and the other walls in a darker hue. That’s it silly trick allows you to change the perspective of the room and create depth.

To visually widen a room, you can also paint the same color on the opposite wall in a more original way, on a light wall, a horizontal line in a brighter complexion. A nice way to build a fade line to shift your understanding of space

Tip 3: Visually Enlarge A Room By Raising The Ceiling

Good news: it is quite possible to create optical effects to give an impression of height and, therefore, space to rooms with low ceilings. To do this, two options are available to you:

The first is to create a contrast in your space by focusing on darker colors to light up the floor and ceiling and match them with walls in lighter colours. If the space is bright enough and you are looking to sell it your central character, even dark colors! Well-selected curtains, chairs, and accessories do the rest.

Another choice for visually enlarging a room with a low ceiling is to paint the ceiling in the lightest color, then all the walls in a more prominent color to preserve consistency and provide a wider view of the space. And if you’re bothered by the too bland side, go for vertical stripes on the walls, they’ll push back the ceiling and make your room gain height with no effort!

Tip # 4: Make A Narrow Room Bigger With A Dark Color

Would you find your lobby too short, or your bedroom too long? No problem, there’s a straightforward but devilishly successful decoration trick to give you the impression that space is more full: you have to paint the wall At the back (and only him) of the house, in your dark color choosing to do this. Impact guaranteed!

The trick might also be to paint the darker walls and the longer walls in a very bright color to give an illusion of width to a room that is a little too short. The contrast would have the benefit of reducing depth visually but of expanding the room!

A final tip that can be useful to enlarge a small room visually is to paint the walls – and especially the longer Walls-halfway up by choosing a light color (for example white or beige) on the lower side, and a darker hue on the upper part.

Tip 5: Small Touches Of Color To Make A Room Bigger

A last good tip for visually enlarging a room too small to your taste? Creating optical illusions by painting only certain areas of the room or adding more extreme color decorative elements. That won’t fail to offer the room relief, as well as a good dose of pep, life, and dynamism.
