How to make a small house look spacious?

Paint the walls in a bright color, preferably white. That certainly does a lot, since the darker colors tend to consume the light in the room and make it feel smaler. Also when you decorate the room with furniture, you shouldnt overdoo the wall with pictures and such, just a few pictures/paintings will do fine, stick to furniture that has a clean design, and maybe add a plant or two for the feeling of a fresh air and comfort.

When you have a small space less is more. Keep your colors very light in the room. No dark walls that will make the room seem smaller. Light colors open up the spaces and make everything brighter. Only keep a few pieces of furniture. Also if you have too many knicknacks in a room then that will make the room look too busy and small. Go through each room and tidy up. Throw out all papers that are laying around. Keep a file stored away for montly bills and important papers that you need to keep. Remember less is more.

I think mirrors and bright colors like white can do some magic. Mirror create illusion and bright color can make the room look bigger. You can use less furniture. Try furniture that have more than one function. Like a desk that can serve as a book rack and such. That way you can have more empty space.

Something that I have noticed.... In bedrooms instead of using the bedframe/headboard/footboard, keep the bed setting closer to the floor.. the missing volume gives the illusion of space. Also, keep furniture against the walls.. No coffee tables floating out in the middle. Hope that helps you somewhat and good luck!

I'll give you one tip. The rooms will look more spacious with less stuff in the room. Throw out and old and unwanted stuff!

use white paint or wallpapers...it helps look the room/house bigger

I have a two room apartment. It is also very small. The thing I did , was get everything off of the floor. I rearranged it so that I put everything on top of the closets. I also have a closet in the hallway. I neatly put things on top of it and covered it with a curtain. Like suitcases I don't use. Or old boxes with paper that are not to be thrown out. Things you normally don't need. I put it off the floor. Now I have more room. It looks a lot bigger and better. Hope this helps you too.
