How to make your bedroom look bigger

Does your bedroom look small and crowded? Instead of considering to move house, take a look at our tips on how to make your bedroom look bigger. 

Remove all clutter
Clutter can make any room feel smaller. Try and remove all 'paperwork', extra pillows and unnecessary accessories. A fewer quantity of items that are larger can make your room feel bigger. Find a hidden place for your everyday items such as your purse, phone and clothes instead of leaving them on any empty horizontal surface. 

Bed
Everyone loves a large bed, but you don't need a tall bed. Although tall mattresses are popular, they can make your room feel smaller. Four poster beds can create a visual barrier in your room and make it seem smaller than it actually is. Consider having a wall mounted headboard and no foot board to gain a few inches of floor space. 

Bedding
Patterned bedding with many colours and shapes (floral) tends to draw your attraction straight to the bed and can make your room look cluttered. Simple solid bedding in a light colour will brighten you bedroom and make it feel larger. 

Light
Make sure there is plenty of light in your bedroom. Keep your curtains open to let in daylight and have several sources of light in your room instead of just one light. 

Mirrors
Mirrors make a room feel larger than it is. Consider having one large mirror in your bedroom will double the light's impact and make the space grow. 

Ceiling
Draw attention to your ceiling in order to bring your eye level up in the room. You can add a unique light fixture or paint the ceiling a light colour other than white. 

Lighter colours

Instead of dark and rich colours, go for lighter and brighter colours for your bedroom. You can have an all white room to make your bedroom seem very spacious.
