How to make it look like you have more space

One of the oldest tricks in the book to making a space look bigger is to put in a mirror. You can also draw the eye upward by hanging curtains as close to the ceiling as you can. Vertical stripes create the same illusion of height in home decor as it does with personal fashion. Do not crowd a space with too much furniture. Patterned wallpaper can also do wonders for a small room. Use something to divide the room to make it look like you have more space. It’s practical as well.
