1. Place lots of furniture and decorations:

When you have a small room, don't try to fit too much stuff into it. This will make the space look crowded and messy. Instead, choose furniture that fits the size of the room and is good for a variety of activities.

2. Bad Lighting Choices:

For small spaces, it is important to think carefully about lighting. Too much or too little light can make a room uncomfortable, and can make a room feel cramped and stuffy. You can use different types of lights (ambient, task, and accent) to create depth and interest in the space.

3. Ignore the walls:

Don't forget to use vertical spaces. You can add shelves, wall-hung tables, and creative storage. This will make your room appear larger because it will draw people's eyes upward.

4. Wearing lots of dark colors

Dark colors can make a room feel cozy, but if you overdo it, it can feel small and cramped. Lighter colors often help reflect light and make a space feel larger and airier.

5. Forgetting about scale and proportion:

It is important to choose items for a room that fit the size of the room. Do not place furniture that is too large or too small. Make sure they look like they belong in the space.

6. Not planning enough storage:

Small spaces can easily become disorganized. To help, you can add storage solutions, such as boxes under the bed and furniture that has more than one use. This will help keep things organized.

8. Neglecting flow and movement:

If you have a small space, think about how people will move around it. If there is too much furniture or if it is not placed correctly, the room can seem even smaller and more difficult to move around.

9. Not using mirrors

Mirrors can make a room appear larger. The light reflects off them, so it looks like there's more space. You can use one large mirror or several small ones to achieve this effect.
