Small Floor Plans That Feel Big

When you're working with a small space, it can be a challenge to make it feel big and airy. But with a little clever design, you can create a small floor plan that feels surprisingly spacious.

Here are a few tips for making a small floor plan feel big:

Choose light colors

Light colors reflect light, which makes a space feel bigger. Use white, cream, or light gray on your walls, ceilings, and floors. You can also add pops of color with furniture and accessories.

Use mirrors

Mirrors reflect light and make a space feel bigger. Hang mirrors opposite windows to reflect the natural light. You can also use mirrors to create the illusion of more space in a narrow hallway or small room.

Declutter

A cluttered space will feel smaller. Get rid of anything you don't need and keep your belongings organized. Use shelves, drawers, and baskets to keep your things off the floor.

Create a focal point

A focal point will draw the eye and make a space feel bigger. It could be a fireplace, a large window, or a piece of art. Once you have a focal point, arrange your furniture around it.

Use vertical space

Make use of vertical space by adding shelves, cabinets, and artwork to your walls. This will help to create the illusion of more space.

Choose furniture that is proportionate to the space

Don't overcrowd your small space with large furniture. Choose furniture that is proportionate to the room. You can also use multifunctional furniture to save space.
