How do you make a small room look bigger?We had to mull over this problem recently, when we moved to a new apartment. The house itself was huge but some corners of it weren’t and I’m pretty sure I whined plenty about this in my writings. Still, I’d like to think we rose to the challenge. Here are some of the things we did.1. We used a mirror. We placed a large mirror in the living room, opposite the door, to reflect the rest of the room and create the illusion of space.2. We kept things simple. We bought furniture that are just about the size of the place they’ll be placed in.3. We lightened up. Lightly colored walls, light window treatments, light furniture - you name it, we have it.
