3. Opt for small bed
If the room is exceptionally small, you shouldn’t have a large bed that will completely close the space, but use a folding sofa or couch for sleeping. That way, the room will look bigger and more spacious.
4. Paint the walls in the same nuance
If the ceiling is painted brighter than the walls, the room will seem smaller, but if the ceiling is in the same color as the walls, the eyes will not be able to find sharp dividing lines, so the space will seem bigger.
