Austin Klar shares three budget-friendly ways to make a small room feel bigger: paint walls light colors and use glossy ceiling finish for more light reflection, raise window treatments to the ceiling to add perceived height, and swap in modern light fixtures for around $80 to $150 to brighten the space.
3 ways to make a smaller space in your home feel a lot bigger. Number 1 is paint. Lighter and brighter paints go a long way to make a room feel a lot more airy and bigger than it actually is. And using a glossier finish on the ceiling will reflect more light and enhance the feeling of space in the room. Number 2 is a super inexpensive hack, raising window treatments higher to draw the eyes up and make a space feel taller. If you have crown molding, place the window treatments immediately below the molding, and if you don't, raise them all the way up to the ceiling. Number 3 is lighting. You can go wild with super expensive lighting, but honestly, you you don't have to. You can get great modern bright fixtures for $80, $100, $150, and they will bring a lot of freshness to a dark and dingy room and make it feel a lot larger.
