Having a large bedroom is something everyone wants. You want a place to relax and enjoy without feeling cramped. However, with rent and home prices being incredibly high in most of the country, a ton of space is often hard to come by. As a result, having a huge bedroom is largely a pipe dream for many people (especially for people who live in New York<\/a>). However, that doesn\u2019t mean you are banished to sleeping in what looks like the equivalent of a broom closet. In fact, there are many different ways to make your bedroom feel and look larger, and we will look at some of them in this article. Some of these are incredibly quick and easy, and will work wonders in making your bedroom appear much bigger than it really is. <\/span><\/p>\n 1. Make your bed functional<\/b><\/p>\n In almost any bedroom, no matter its size, the biggest piece of furniture is often the bed. It takes up a ton of space in a small bedroom, especially if you need a large bed. However, that space under your bed doesn\u2019t need to only be occupied by air; you can actually put it to work. Whether you decide to use under-bed storage baskets or buy a bedframe with drawers in it, your bed has much more potential than just being a place to sleep and binge watch your favorite Netflix shows. <\/span><\/p>\n 2. Have smaller furniture and maximize wall space<\/b><\/p>\n This one seems pretty obvious but is also worth a mention. If you have a small bedroom, you should look to invest in furniture that is smaller. A dresser instead of an armoire, a chair instead of a couch, things like that. Maximizing wall space simply makes the room look less \u201cempty\u201d which can make it look bigger. If every piece of furniture in your room goes right up against the wall and goes a good way up the wall, your room will look much smaller, plus it will leave less room for practical decorations. Art\u00a0<\/a>is a great thing to make a room look bigger (as it takes your eyes away from the physical dimensions of the room), but too much are will just clutter the room. <\/span><\/p>\n 3. Change up the paint and color of the room<\/b><\/p>\n Something as simple as changing up the color of a room can have a huge impact on how big or small the room looks. Dark colors in a little room make it feel like a cave, so you definitely want to opt for a lighter color to make the room feel bigger. A painting trick that can sometimes make a room seem bigger is by painting everything in the room a similar tone or color. By having walls, ceiling, woodwork, and accents the same color, it will trick your eyes into believing the room is bigger. <\/span><\/p>\n 4. Reduce clutter and increase storage<\/b><\/p>\n
