He has a twin bed with a dresser. It definitely makes your room seem bigger if you place a full length mirror on the wall across from where you walk in the door.

Answer 2

Stripes going up and down make it loo taller.

A faux finish will make the eye move around the room...making it appear larger.

Lighter colors are better.

Answer 3

You could put black and white checkers on the wall and make them gradually look smaller from the entrance. Or you could make single or mutiple stripes that gradually get smaller by using perspective. You could also put in a hardwood floor with a light color not a dark color. With a light color wood it makes the room make it look extremely larger.

Answer 4

Don't paint, cover all the walls in mirrors!

Answer 5

First of all, minimize the furniture. like instead getting a couch, get a sofa bed. Paint it light colours like light pink or lime green. and then get a slightly darker than the colour of your paint  with off white colour curtain and then you might want to hang a mirror on the wall. You might want to buy a small printed colour curtain to make it look grand, elegant and nice....

Answer 6

usually stripes of bright or vibrant colors make a room seem bigger than it usually is..... this is kinda a much to ask but can you please answer the question i asked on my account i really need to know the answer to it1!!

Answer 7

If you want it to look taller do vertical stripes like a SUPER really light green and a cream color... and if you want it to look over all bigger. Paint it the same colors i said but horizontally

Hope i helped

and also if you want it to look a LOT bigger... have a full size day bed!

Answer 8

Well Research how colors affect your mood and do it how you want to feel and hang mirrors all over.... mirrors make a room seem bigger!

Answer 9

A lighter color would be a good option. A color you like of course! I don't suggest dark colors, that will just shrink the room. If you did some kind of design or border around the top it would pull the eyes up and make the room seem larger too. A white ceiling to go with it all. Good Luck!

Answer 10

to make your room look bigger, its all about the furniture. for example, get a large bed and a few pieces of furniture and go a dark color for the walls.
