In every home there is at least one room that the homeowner desires larger. In my staging business, I believe the key to increasing the perceived size of any small area is to maximize the function of the space while minimizing the clutter.
Clutter is a reflection of chaos in ones life. If you are preparing your home for sale, it eats equity!
Clutter can make any size of space seem smaller. By discarding the items that you don't need and organizing the rest, you will create an efficient feeling throughout the room. If you must keep some if the items that were generating the clutter, then try as best you can to keep them to a minimum.
A simple décor seems to work best for small spaces. Light, airy fabrics absent of print or pattern will enlarge the area. When selecting furniture, try to utilize larger pieces that are tall and contain hidden storage spots.
The final way to add appeal to every room is add as much natural light as possible. Adding three sources of light in dark rooms is ideal when possible.
