Go Bigger to Feel Bigger

Including a few larger statement pieces instead of lots of smaller pieces can help a small space feel less cluttered and more open. By opening your space up with less pieces, the larger pieces will fit in and make the room also feel bigger. Also choosing furniture with legs adds to the open feel, allowing air to move all around the piece. That being said, avoid too many large, heavy pieces of furniture. 

Location, Location, Location 

When it comes to arranging your small space, location of your furniture is key to making the room feel bigger. Stay away from putting pieces of furniture in walkways, and keep pieces away from the wall. If furniture is up against the wall, then eyes will be drawn to the wall giving off a closed-in feeling. Keeping clear walkways and open walls will create a bigger feel.

Combine Tall and Short 

Choose furniture that is lower to the ground as it will open up the room by leaving more space above. Combining this with taller pieces like bookcases or tall shelves will fake the appearance of a taller ceiling. 

Use Color Schemes 

Picking out pieces of furniture is a very fun part of the design process. However to keep the big, open feel, pick pieces that are unified under a monochromatic color scheme, or a simple color scheme. A unified look will stop eyes from dwelling on each piece of furniture, and instead give the illusion that the room is bigger by keeping the room together. Even choosing clear, or see-through tables will help keep your scheme room together while keeping the room’s feel open.
