I have a small room in my house that I would like to seem larger than it is. Any ideas? -Emily
Hi Emily,
There are a number of things you can do to make a small room feel larger than it really is. Try some or all of the following:
- Avoid busy wallpaper.
- Stay away from vivid or dark colored paint.
- Paint walls a light, pastel color.
- Add more natural and artificial light.
- Take down heavy drapes and leave the windows uncovered.
- Install mirrors on the wall.
- If tiling the floor, lay tile diagonally.
- Reduce the amount of clutter and furniture in the room.
Good luck with your project,
In my new house I have a room the is 9 feet wide by 25 feet long. It is right off the kitchen with a pass thru . This room goes out to a nice size patio with a invisible wall .(sliders ) I want to make this room into a ” game room ” . I have a TV that is 3D and all kinds of movie and games to play on it. My problem is the seating. Do I buy folding saucer chairs or try to find a fixed theater chair ? seeing the room is only 9″ wide I am having a hard time finding a set skinny enough also when we want to play Wii on the TV we would have to move them …..
