If you’ve ever wanted to make a room in your home look bigger; we’ve got the necessary tools and tricks for you to do so. Here are a few ideas that will give your smaller room a larger looking appearance.


Remove the Clutter
Having a lot of clutter in a room can be overwhelming and make a room look smaller than it actually is. Luckily, this is a quick fix. We aren’t just talking about cleaning up trash, magazines, and toys. Instead of overloading a room with accessories like lamps, clocks, and trinkets, try to put focus on just a few. Also, you may want to limit the pieces of furniture you have in a room. Removing clutter can make a room look cleaner and open.


Add Some Mirrors
Mirrors are a great addition to create the illusion of a large room. When it comes to mirrors, the bigger the better. Hanging a large mirror on one of the walls can give depth to a room. Not a fan of large mirrors? Consider creating a wall of mirrors, made up of different sizes and shapes of mirrors.


Lighting is Key
Lighting is one of the most important factors in making your small space look bigger. Whether you use outside light from a window or indoor lighting features, a well-lit room can make a drastic change. One idea is to install recessed lighting in the room. Therefore, recessed lighting can make the space seem more open and give your home a modernized feel.


Don’t Forget About the Floor and Ceiling
The floor and ceiling of a room are often ignored. However, they both can make a huge difference in a room. Sometimes bright or harsh colors can make a room seem smaller;, so the best option is to use lighter colors for the floor and ceiling. Lightly-colored wood floors or carpets can enhance the space of a tiny room. For the ceiling, it’s good to stick with white or a similar light color.

Keep it casual

Casual equals comfort. Consider how you’ve decorated your living room and bring some of those same elements; such as a comfy couch, lamps, and mirror – outside. Don’t make yourself choose between the comfort of your living room or the pleasure of your porch. Merge them to create a truly unique outdoor experience.

Add a breeze

Florida weather normally gives off a nice breeze, but for days when it’s lacking turn on a fan. A ceiling fan can be a practical and decorative addition.

Add greenery

Also, in lieu of a standard privacy fence, add a wall of shrubs or flowers. So, if you’re looking for a smaller project; hang several plants around the shaded deck to add both fragrance and curb appeal.

Mood lighting

For concentrated glows choose rustic lanterns. For more saturated but soft lighting, hang strings of white lights from the rafters. Sunlight is great for daytime, but these two tricks will make the evenings magical.

Stream music

Now that the setting and mood are completely relaxing and comfortable; stream your favorite tunes through an all-weather sound system, which can be found at your local electronics store.

Nothing will want to make you stay home more than having this personal retreat in your backyard. Enjoy your summer evenings with close family and friends. Please let us know how these tips worked out for you on the Gainesville Restoration and Remodeling Facebook page!
