Invest In Some Mirrors

Mirrors have a way of making any room look slightly less claustrophobic and help the vibe of the room look larger as a whole. When it comes to the purchasing of mirrors you have to be careful not to overdo it but rather stick to simple mirrors with an extremely simple frame. Instead of outright purchasing mirrors itself, you can even get a dressing table with a big mirror. A maximum of two mirrors would suffice and help the overall ambiance of the room look brighter as well as make the space more breathable.

Use Vertical Space

Most often than not, we run out of space because we stock our things horizontally. This can lead to have serious issues and make the bedroom looked overcrowded and unmanageable. So in order to avoid this look to use vertical space. To do this you can use the walls right up to the ceiling as the eye then goes upwards and is drawn more towards the ceiling. This leaves the room looking larger and more pleasing to the eye. For storage purposes, you can use some built-in shelves which extend all the way from the floor to the ceiling. This can help immensely to avoid overstocking and overcrowding as you can see exactly what you need or don’t need instead of using a drawer somewhere.

Lighting Is Key

Use lighting to your advantage. Depending on the size and position of your windows choose your lighting smartly. You can either go bare or have a few spotlights on the ceiling instead.
