Question

How to make your living or work space look larger and brighter

Answer 1

light colors

ample use of mirrors

airy fabrics that would tend to move in any breeze

smaller furniture

area rugs instead of wall-to-wall carpet

focal points in corners

upshining light

You want to draw the eye across distances, so designers of smaller houses go for vistas that pull the view through rooms and even through the house to the outdoors.  They bounce the view (and light) with mirrors.

Answer 2

mirrors facing doorways so when you walk in you think it looks bigger also white walls. hope i helped!

Answer 3

Paint the walls in a light colour for example cream.  Add in some mirrors on the walls to reflect light around the room.  Use a wooden floor.  Have a large storage unit to hide all clutter. Add lights to dark corners. Good luck

Answer 4

putting up mirrors will amplify light and make the space look bigger

a simple lamp that isn't too bulky or decorative can also bring a lot of light without taking up too much space
