How to Make a Small Space Look Bigger

2
Older buildings are known for having simpler
floor plans. The construction industry is now
including smaller rooms in residential and
commercial buildings.
3
These compact areas are designed to serve
multiple purposes that can range from offices to
guest bedrooms.
4
In addition to providing flexibility for the
floor plan, these tinier areas also offer
benefits that include being easier to clean and
keep organized.
5
The ability to create a cozy ambience is nice,
but the smaller square footage means that these
rooms can quickly feel cramped and cluttered.
6
In most cases, it only takes a few simple
changes to transform the area and create a
feeling of spaciousness.
7
Bring In More Light
8
Tiny rooms can quickly begin to feel like a
closet if they are shut off from the rest of the
world. Whenever possible, include large windows
in the design plans for smaller rooms.
9
Energy-efficient glass makes it possible to use
big panes without having to worry about rising
utility bills.
10
For a light and airy effect, use sheer curtains
or drapes that allow the most light to come
through the windows.
11
Being able to see a view of the outside helps to
open up a room that feels tiny and crowded.
12
Stay Separate But Connected
13
In a commercial building, it is common to find
that there are multiple small offices that are
all placed next to each other.
14
Glass partitions are an option that allows for
the building to seem larger.
15
Our partition systems have sliding glass doors
that provide sound-dampening benefits when
employees and clients need privacy.
16
Clear partitions provide the most benefits for
creating a sense of more space, but frosted or
opaque styles are also available.
17
Expand and Reflect
18
Moving walls might not be possible in certain
buildings. Mirrors are an alternative option that
can have similar benefits without having to do a
major renovation.
19
Strategically placed mirrors can help to make a
room look larger since the reflection creates a
sense of visual expansion.
20
Floor to ceiling mirrors are a great way to make
small dance studios and dressing areas look
larger.
21
In a bedroom, this effect is easily achieved
through the installation of mirrored closet
doors.
22
Smaller versions can also be included as wall
hangings or backdrops to provide a slightly more
subtle effect of expanding space.
23
Choose Streamlined Furniture
24
Bulky pieces of furniture can quickly make a
small space feel cramped. Tables and shelves
can be made using glass that helps the furniture
to blend into the environment.
25
Since you can see through the surfaces, the
furniture becomes less obtrusive.
26
This strategy also fits perfectly in with the
modern design styles that are often used in
interior decorating today, and it works best with
a monochromatic color scheme.
27
Chrome, brushed metal and light wood bases all
look beautiful with glass tops.
28
Opening up smaller spaces makes it easier to
think outside of the box when you are working on
a project for work or trying to manage tasks at
home.
29
Installing glass features improves the aesthetics
of smaller spaces and gives you a clearer mindset
that inspires a sense of calmness and increases
productivity.
