The walls feel like they\u2019re closing in around you, and you feel you barely have room to breathe. No, you\u2019re not in a nightmare\u2014you\u2019re in a small room in your house. Being in this room may not actually be this dramatic, but small spaces can be unpleasant if not handled properly. From tiny half bathrooms to small guest rooms, you may not have the option of doing serious home renovations. Here are some tips for expanding small rooms without changing the square footage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Get Rid of Clutter<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With a\u00a0room that has limited space, you have to be picky about the furniture and other items that go in it. Otherwise, you can feel overwhelmed and crowded. Do you have clutter on the bathroom sink? Put it in the cabinet. Do you have a tiny kitchen? Put away as many appliances as possible to keep the counter clear. Are there a lot of knick-knacks in the room? Put only a key few on display. Minimizing visible items will give the illusion that there is plenty of space in the small room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Include Houseplants<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you don\u2019t want to feel claustrophobic in a small room, consider putting a plant or two in there. Not only does the greenery add a different texture, but it also can make the space feel more open. You can even select plants that purify the air, helping the room literally feel more airy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Light It Up<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In a small space that\u2019s dark, you can feel uncomfortable without really knowing why. Psychologically, darkness is generally associated with oppressive feelings. Adding light, especially natural light, can go a long way to make the room feel more open. If your lighting source is limited, you can create the illusion of light by using a large mirror in the space. This is particularly effective in small bathrooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choose Light Paint Colors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Speaking of light and dark, one of the easiest ways to trick the eye into seeing a larger space is to paint the walls a lighter color. Although you should stay away from pure white, a light gray can give a guest bedroom a more spacious, yet relaxing vibe. For the bathroom, a pale blue can help the smaller area feel more expansive. Regardless of your color choice, having a painter<\/a> come in and handle the work ensures a flawless finish and a comfortable room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the end, you may not get to alter the actual size of the room, but you can make the most of it. By following these tips, you can transform your small room so it appears larger and more comfortable for you and your guests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
