Styling Tips: How to Make Your Space Feel Bigger

Not every home has expansive rooms or open layouts — but with the right furniture and design techniques, you can make any space feel more spacious and inviting.

Start with light, neutral colors. Shades like white, beige, and soft grey reflect more light and make rooms feel open. Add mirrors to bounce light around the space and create the illusion of depth.

Choose furniture that fits your space. Avoid oversized sofas or bulky tables in small rooms. Opt for pieces with visible legs and open bases — they create a sense of airiness. Multi-functional furniture, like storage ottomans or extendable dining tables, can reduce clutter while maximizing utility.

Vertical space matters too. Use tall shelves or wall-mounted storage to draw the eye upward and free up floor space. Keep your decor minimal and choose a few standout pieces rather than overcrowding the room.

Strategic lighting also helps. Use layered lighting — ceiling lights, floor lamps, and table lamps — to brighten dark corners and enhance the room’s size.
