When you are selling your home, room size is paramount. How can you make a small room appear larger?

Using Leggy Furniture Opens Up A Room -Decor Pad

Scale down the furniture. Reduce the amount of furniture in the rooms. Use smaller scale furniture over big chunky pieces. Choose furniture with legs showing as opposed to heavily upholstered pieces. This allows one to see through the furniture to the floor underneath to open up the space.

Large Artwork in Model Home

Minimal Bathroom Accessories - Model Home

Decorate with fewer but larger accessories – too many small accessories crowd a room and overtake it. Do groupings of larger mantel/ table accessories which are overlapped. Avoid crowding walls with too much artwork. Use larger pieces of art to fill the walls. Ensure minimal accessories are on bathroom and kitchen countertops.

Patterns Which Don't Overwhelm the Room - Decor Pad

Avoid overly busy patterns. Too many bold patterns in a room with fabrics and accent pieces can make a room feel smaller. Big prints, bold plaids, and large floral patterns can be too busy for a small space. Stick to solids and use texture in fabrics to add interest.
