Not only do they reflect and bounce light across the room, but when placed strategically, they can also reflect some key colors and decor.

As far as the classic and simple solid wooden shelf goes, you can\u2019t go wrong. However, if you\u2019re feeling adventurous, or if your space needs to get in shape, consider adding something geometric to your wall. This is an excellent way to break even a suggestion of monotony, with the added advantage of adding some color contrast.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"decorilla-newvideo-row\">\n    <a href=\"\/online-interior-design-process?from=blog-howtomakeasmallroomlookbigger-bannerhowitworks&pi=MzE5NDQ=\">\n        <video class=\"desktop-video\" autoplay loop muted playsinline width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\">\n            <source src=\"https:\/\/www.decorilla.com\/online-decorating\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/how-it-works-banner-desktop-v2.mp4\" type=\"video\/mp4\">\n            <source src=\"https:\/\/www.decorilla.com\/online-decorating\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/how-it-works-banner-desktop-v2.mp4\" type=\"video\/webm\">\n            Your browser does not support the video tag.\n        <\/video>\n        <video class=\"mobile-video\" autoplay loop muted playsinline width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\">\n            <source src=\"https:\/\/www.decorilla.com\/online-decorating\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/how-it-works-banner-mobile-v3.mp4\" type=\"video\/mp4\">\n            <source src=\"https:\/\/www.decorilla.com\/online-decorating\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/how-it-works-banner-mobile-v3.mp4\" type=\"video\/webm\">\n            Your browser does not support the video tag.\n        <\/video>\n    <\/a>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n    .mobile-video { display: none; }\n    @media (max-width: 767px) {\n        .desktop-video { display: none; }\n        .mobile-video { display: block; }\n    }\n<\/style>\n<script>\n    document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {\n        const mobileVideo = document.querySelector('.mobile-video');\n        const desktopVideo = document.querySelector('.desktop-video');\n\n        function handleVideoAutoplay(video, name) {\n            if (!video) return;\n\n            \/\/ Try to play immediately\n            video.play().catch(function(error) {\n                console.log(name + ' video autoplay failed:', error);\n\n                \/\/ If autoplay fails, try again after user interaction\n                const playOnInteraction = function() {\n                    video.play().catch(console.log);\n                    document.removeEventListener('touchstart', playOnInteraction);\n                    document.removeEventListener('click', playOnInteraction);\n                };\n\n                document.addEventListener('touchstart', playOnInteraction, { once: true });\n                document.addEventListener('click', playOnInteraction, { once: true });\n            });\n\n            \/\/ Also try to play when video is ready\n            video.addEventListener('loadeddata', function() {\n                video.play().catch(console.log);\n            });\n        }\n\n        handleVideoAutoplay(mobileVideo, 'Mobile');\n        handleVideoAutoplay(desktopVideo, 'Desktop');\n    });\n<\/script>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to Make a Small Living Room Look Bigger<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone wp-image-34477 size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"666\" src=\"https:\/\/www.decorilla.com\/online-decorating\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/How-to-make-a-small-living-room-look-bigger-Rehan-A..jpg\" alt=\"How to make a small living room look bigger - Rehan A.\" class=\"wp-image-34477\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.decorilla.com\/online-decorating\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/How-to-make-a-small-living-room-look-bigger-Rehan-A..jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.decorilla.com\/online-decorating\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/How-to-make-a-small-living-room-look-bigger-Rehan-A.-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.decorilla.com\/online-decorating\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/How-to-make-a-small-living-room-look-bigger-Rehan-A.-768x511.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Dark colors can make a small living room look bigger &#8211; Design by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.decorilla.com\/?from=blog-howtomakeasmallroomlookbigger-cap4\"><strong>Decorilla<\/strong><\/a> designer, Rehan A.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Creating a balanced interior is a great part of making a room feel spacious. These touches soften hard edges and bring comfort where bigger items could not.

The added texture may lend the eye some depth of field, especially if you have high ceilings. Whereas, a room with low ceilings can also benefit from an impressive window dressing as it makes the wall seem taller than it is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to decorating with rugs in a small space, scaling it down is not the best idea. In fact, using a large rug in a small room can make the floor area feel bigger while teeny rugs have the opposite effect. That said, always keep one to two from the mat to the wall uncovered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5.

Here are the top features to consider:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Scale: <\/strong>Opt for small-scale furniture or dive into minimalism with one large focal piece, like a three-seater mid-century modern sofa accompanied by a singular accent table.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Profile: <\/strong>Lean towards furniture with slender legs to keep your floor space as open as possible. Less bulky furniture will not only assist in a less cluttered look but will also keep walkways clear.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Color: <\/strong>Light and dark colors take up varying levels of visual space. Match the furniture color to the wall for a merged, blended look or add a contrasting color to uplift the space and designate a separate functional zone.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"666\" src=\"https:\/\/www.decorilla.com\/online-decorating\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Modern-lounge-in-neutral-colors-that-make-a-room-look-bigger.jpg\" alt=\"Modern lounge in neutral colors that make a room look bigger\" class=\"wp-image-31974\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.decorilla.com\/online-decorating\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Modern-lounge-in-neutral-colors-that-make-a-room-look-bigger.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.decorilla.com\/online-decorating\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Modern-lounge-in-neutral-colors-that-make-a-room-look-bigger-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.decorilla.com\/online-decorating\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Modern-lounge-in-neutral-colors-that-make-a-room-look-bigger-768x511.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Height:<\/strong> In a compact room, every surface matters, from floor to ceilings. More open space, with a minimalistic style, can have a refined and expansive feel. Too much low furniture can make a room feel cropped and chunky every bit as much as a large and tall item can overwhelm an interior. Though, when there is a healthy mix of high and low pieces, the extremes can work in your favor.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Orientation: <\/strong>Whether an item is positioned horizontally or vertically matters. Keep in mind that horizontal objects can make a room seem wide while vertical pieces can make the same room feel tall.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>6.

As a matter of fact, lines unite an interior and can make a room seem wider (horizontal lines) or the ceiling seem higher (vertical lines) than what it is. If you\u2019re wondering how to make a small room look bigger with lines, ask yourself if the room feels short or narrow. Homes with low ceilings can benefit from vertical lines, while narrow walls can gain length visually with horizontal stripes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Have a Small Room Needing Extra Attention?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you know how to make a small room look bigger, are you ready for the first steps?
