Small bedroom interior in a rental home.Rental houses come, in fact, in all shapes and sizes, and so do the rooms inside them. According to the style and age of the property, you may observe that the bedrooms in your rental home are a bit on the smaller side by today’s standards. Rooms that feel dark and cramped are not tempting nor appealing to potential residents and may make it difficult to get your rental home leased quickly. The amazing news is that there is a lot you can put into effect to boost and improve the look and feel of small bedrooms. Heeding a few straightforward guidelines, you can fittingly make bedrooms look bigger than they are.

Light colors make rooms appear larger

The first place a great number of design experts start is with paint color. With most small spaces, your choice of paint can make a big difference. Interior designers strongly urge utilizing light colors in a single-color family. Coordination is the key to making small rooms look bigger. Dark or bright colors and accent walls will clearly divide the room’s flow, making it look smaller.

Another basic design strategy is to paint the trim a lighter color. White is absolutely the current popular choice because it reflects light and gives a space a clean, airy feel. When the trim is lighter than the wall color, this creates a sense of depth that can help a small room seem larger than it usually is.

Utilize empty space to create depth

Though it sounds definitely obvious, empty space is one of the best ways to make a bedroom look larger. Dark or large light fixtures, long, heavy curtains, and other features can crowd a small room. If your rental home is furnished, furniture with narrow lines and legs that lift it off the floor can help keep the room from feeling cramped. Another tip is to hang sheer drapes just below the ceiling, drawing the eye upward and providing the room a happily spacious feel.

Lighting and reflective surfaces

Proper lighting and shiny surfaces are a few other means to make a small room look bigger. Various bedrooms have a single overhead light that may or may not present the room in the best light. Examine about adding additional lighting to remove dark corners or brighten a closet. Reflective surfaces like mirrors or glass can add light and depth to a small space. Reckon installing a tall mirror on a door or near a window to easily make the room seem bigger.
