People have become addicted to reality TV. In recent years, we saw the rise of TV shows about professional cleaners cleaning houses. You may be a fan of these programs, but you might still not have any clue on how to fix your space. If you have an issue with one of the smaller rooms in your house, you should pay close attention to this article. It will help you declutter the said room and tastefully arrange the furniture to create more space. Yes, it will even work in any box room. After reading this piece, you can successfully transform such an area into a multi-functional space.

RETHINK THE LAYOUT

Of course, you would need to declutter. But what will you do after that? If you are working on a small room, you must think outside of the box. The pieces of furniture should be arranged in a way that will not overwhelm your senses. Most interior designers recommend putting most of the furniture on just one wall, preferably it should be the one that you see the least. Doing this will prevent the feeling of overcrowding. As much as possible, you should not use that much furniture in this said room. 

UTILIZE ALL CORNERS

If you have a large room, you will not have any problems with space. You can have savvy storage solutions. But if you are working on a small attic bedroom, you will only have tight corners to work with. In this situation, you must transform this unusable space for concealed storage. Of course, you will need to declutter to make the most out of this space. Doing this will prevent any mess from encroaching the already limited space. Interior designers suggest installing storage systems that can be hidden because visible items will make the room feel smaller.

BUILD STORAGE AROUND THE BED

Considering the lack of space, you should build storage around your bed. Doing this will maximize the small space. Building a wardrobe on either side of your bed will create a frame. Thus, it forces the gaze on that one wall. Doing this will help the other walls to be free from obstruction. In other words, it declutters the said area. If you want to create the illusion of space, you can use put up mirrors. If you are confident with your skills, you can even create storage above the bed too.

REFLECT ON SURFACE CHOICES

As mentioned earlier, you can put up mirrors to create the illusion of space, but that is not the only trick that you can utilize to make your room more spacious. You can experiment with paint. The right color will not only make a room feel bigger, but it can also make the space more inviting. If you can correctly utilize paint, you can create a border of sorts. Thus, you are creating a new perspective for the walls. You can think of it as a magical trick.
