Make your small rooms feel bigger

We all have that one room in the house that always feels just a little cramped no matter what. Whether it's just one room or your entire home, chances are that you will have to deal with a small space at some point when it comes to decorating your house. Rather than relegating it to a glorified closet, your small room could become your favorite part of your residence if you decorate it right. 

One of the biggest problems that most of us have when it comes to decorating a tiny room is that we feel it has to be filled with equally tiny furniture. In fact, the opposite is actually true. Filling a room with regularly sized pieces will help you to find it more comfortable and help others to realize the amount of available space that it actually holds. 

If you're trying to use the same space for more than one function, you might feel tempted to divide the room specifically for those purposes, but according to Houzz, a popular home decor website, it's actually a better idea to use area rugs to mark the different functions of the room, since this will help to keep the space open and make it feel bigger. 

But one of the best ways to change the feeling of a small part of your home is through hanging your window treatments. Even the nicest custom curtains can be installed incorrectly. Make sure to place yours above the window – split the difference between the top sill and the ceiling, and hang all the way to the floor. This will help to bring the illusion of height to even the smallest of homes. For more tips like this, come visit Bazaar Home Decorating today.
