Use light colors on the walls and floor. Softer hues can make a cramped room feel bigger and brighter.
2. Hang a mirror
 |
| Vancouver Realtor-Carmen Leal |
Place a mirror opposite a window and it will bounce light around the room, making the space feel airier. The bigger the mirror, the better
3. Sprinkle in Some Metallic
 |

A shimmery lamp, light fixture, or object will have a similar effect as a mirror, reflecting light and brightening up a space.
4. Install Floating Shelves
 |

They offer storage space without the bulkiness of chests, bookcases, and armoires. You can even swap out your nightstands for floating shelves.

This often-overlooked area can be a great spot to squeeze in an extra accent chair or a corner bookshelf, making your room more livable. Or tuck a cozy chair in a corner to create an instant reading nook.

7. Match Your Curtain Color to Your Walls
 |

Curtains that blend with the walls create an unbroken line, making a room feel much larger.
8. Choose Scale-Down Furniture
 |
| Vancouver Realtor-Carmen Leal |
Opt for furniture that suits a smaller space, like this petite table. Even traditionally bulky pieces, such as upholstered club chairs, come in narrower widths these days, so you can get the same look without cramming in your furnishings.
9. Opt for Airy Pieces
 |

Instead of a solid-wood coffee table, which can weigh down a space, choose a see-through acrylic one or a table with an open metal base.

An easy way to keep a small room from becoming cluttered is to choose furniture with space to store objects, like a coffee table with a shelf below, a bench with bins underneath, and an ottoman with a removable top and empty space inside. Note how this work space/dining space has clever cubbies to stash belongings.
11. Make your Furniture Mobile
 |
| Vancouver Realtor-Carmen Leal |
Buying furniture on casters - or outfitting it with casters yourself - allows you to easily rearrange pieces as needed, whether that means pushing a chair, table, or kitchen island out of the way or rolling a futon into position to comfortably set up overnight guests.
12. Bring in a Plant

13. Use Walls as Displays
 |
| Vancouver Realtor-Carmen Leal |
Hang up your jewelry, or pretty cutting boards and trivets, to clear out valuable drawer space in the bedroom or kitchen.
 |
| Vancouver Realtor-Carmen Leal |
A few inches between the wall and the back of your couch, for example, will make the living room look more open.
15. Add vertical stripes
 |

On walls or drapes, they can make a low ceiling feel higher.
