If you have landed a small bedroom that does not allow for too much furniture or décor, well, you are not the only one! It is a common bane among flat dwellers to have a bedroom so small that it inhibits their sense of style. Luckily there are certain hacks that you can employ to trick the mind into thinking your bedroom is bigger than it actually is.

► Furniture

One of the easiest ways to make a small room look bigger is by keeping furniture in it with exposed legs. When the eyes are able to see the floor below the furniture, it creates the illusion that the room is quite a large one. Another good method to ensure that the floors are visible is by using transparent furniture. You can use transparent tables and chairs for this purpose.

►Curtains

Another useful technique is to use curtains that do not come in contact with the floor of the room. Get quotations from bespoke curtain makers and get them to make the perfect curtains for you to use. It would be a good idea to get the curtains in a light colour as that is a good way to ensure that a room appears large.

►Carpet

You should choose a carpet that covers the entire floor. This provides continuity to the room, thus creating the illusion that the floor space has more area than it actually does. Small carpets break up the floor leading the brain to consider each section separately. You can get in touch with a few manufacturers of carpets in Sevenoaks and ask them to quote their prices and choose accordingly.

► Mirrors

These are the ultimate creators of illusion. We suggest installing a mirror on an entire wall of the room so that you can optimize the purpose of putting it there. Mirrors also reflect the light that comes in from outside, thus making the mind further miscomprehend the room’s size. You can even angle the mirror in certain ways to add height and depth to your bedroom.

In addition to the tips mentioned above, a parting suggestion would be to place light-coloured Roman blinds in Sevenoaks and keep it folded up to let the maximum light in so that the small bedroom appears bigger.
