You don’t have to be blessed with large rooms to really sell your home to a potential buyer. Even if one or more of your rooms are a little on the smaller side, there are still a few effective decorating tips and tricks you can utilise to help make the property appear far more spacious.
One effective strategy is to use light colours, especially on the walls, ceiling and floors. Darker tones encroach on the space, making it feel more enclosed. Pale colours, in contrast, make the space airier.
Mirrors are also your best friend in this situation because of the way they reflect both light and the room itself. Light is key to making a room feel open and inviting, and by seeing the room twice with the help of the mirror, this too conjures an illusion of more space.
Your choice of furniture is another important consideration. For a smaller bedroom, furnish with a standard double bed rather than a queen or king and there will be more useable space around it. Choosing multifunctional furnishings is also a great way of maximising space. Opt for a bed with built-in storage and you could lose an intrusive bookshelf or cabinet that’s cluttering the room.
These are just a few simple techniques, but by using them, even the smallest of rooms can feel more inviting and comfortable with very little time or effort.
