Use Mirrors

One of the oldest tricks in the book. Mirrors also reflect both natural and artificial light. That means they make a room brighter during the day and night. Placing a mirror near a window to reflect the world outside is especially effective.

Creative Storage

The most essential part of making a small space work is storage. That means you will need to get creative. The ceiling, the floor, under the stairs, under the bed, every nook and cranny you can think of; make it storage.

Folding pieces

You may need a desk and a dining table, but do you really need them 24-7? Instead, think about installing furnishings that can fold up when not in use. You’ll free up floor space and avoid inevitable clutter. If you have a one-wall kitchen, folding doors can conceal clutter when not in use.

Let in the Light

Nothing makes your space feel bigger and brighter than natural light. It's best not to obstruct the path of light by eliminating unnecessary solid surfaces. Also, be mindful of what type of curtains you chose. The rails you chose should be long enough to leave the window space clear when the curtains are pulled apart.

With all these effective tips you are guaranteed success. Not only will it make your space more stylish but enhance the illusion that it is bigger and if you lack natural light, brighter!
