Making small room appear larger

[Home Decor Fanatic]

Other than using mirrors and light coloured paint, what else can u do to make a room look bigger?

Striped walls or rugs give the illusion of space...but at the rate our flats are shrinking, i think no trick can help. gotta accept it's small

Maybe u can bring down a few walls. That will help definately. : )

Try "gradient" the wall painting. Start off with a darker shade at the bottom of the wall and build up to a lighter shade of the same colour
