There are many ways to make a small and cramped room more spacious and comfortable.

First, you need to remove all unnecessary things from the room. For example, an old chair that is rarely sat on and a chest of drawers that is hardly used are definitely not needed.

Secondly, it is worth adding more light to the room. Wash the windows and hang the curtains correctly.

Thirdly, the ideal way to visually expand a room is to install mirrors.

And don't forget about another good option. It's about using paints of certain colors.

Yulia Tychino, an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" in the field of design and interior, told how to paint the walls so that the room stops looking small.

What colors visually enlarge space

The emphasis should be on choosing not so much the color itself, but its shade.

In other words, you can visually expand the space with the help of red, green, and blue paint.

But the colors should be light, not dark. It is thanks to the former that the desired optical illusion appears.

Thus, light green will visually make the room more spacious. And dark green, on the contrary, will only worsen the situation.
