Njia 7 rahisi kabisa za kufanya chumba kidogo kionekane kikubwa....Ipo ya kuweka vioo, TV ukutani na rangi sawa ya dari na kuta..

With these seven easy tips you can make your room seem bigger.

1. Use Natural Light

Everywhere, as much as possible. Natural light brings more dimension and an airiness that can’t be duplicated by electricity, so bring it in as much as possible. Don’t block windows and use semi-transparent curtains to let in the light.

2. Reflect On Mirrors

It’s one of the oldest tricks in the book, but one of the most effective. Be liberal with your use of mirrors throughout your home, and even install mirrored closet doors. By using large or  floor to ceiling mirrors and strategically placing them to reflect windows or other rooms, you trick the eye into thinking a room is larger than it is.

3. Ceiling and walls same color

Breaking up your design with hard lines or contrasting colors divides a room into several mini-rooms—at least to the eye. Instead, try to paint the ceiling and walls the same color.

4. Built-In Shelves

Built-in shelves are a small room’s best friend because they add storage without taking up valuable floor space. Build them floor to ceiling to make your room seem taller and don’t make them too deep.

5. Multipurpose Furniture

Similarly, everything in your small room should pull double duty. Think of an ottomans that can also be a coffee table, or a coffee table that can be used as storage, or a game table that doubles as a dining table.

6. Wall-Mount TV

Entertainment centers are beautiful, but if you’re tight on space, try wall-mounting your television. You’ll need a wireless model or one with bluetooth capability to fully pull this off, but if you’re capable, you’ll save a lot of space. Store your DVDs in wall shelves or within that double-duty ottoman.

7. Raised Furniture

A not so well known trick is raised furniture. If you design using furniture with legs instead of a skirt, you’ll be adding negative space below. This keeps a room from feeling too grounded or boxed in. While you’re at it, keep furniture away from wall, even if it’s just a few inches. This makes it feel like you’re not fighting for every inch of space you can get, even if you are.
