Here are five ways you can make any room in your home feel more spacious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\"><strong>Use lighting wisely.<\/strong> <\/mark>Adding light is one of the easiest ways to make a room feel bigger. If there are windows in the room, you can increase natural light by opening blinds and curtains. You can also brighten a space with artificial lights, like lamps or chandeliers, if there are no windows.<br \/><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\"><strong>Hang wall mirrors.<\/strong> <\/mark>Mirrors reflect light and can make a space feel like it has more dimension. Big statement mirrors are best, but any mirror can help \u2014 even a couple of small ones as part of a gallery wall.<br \/><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\"><strong>Get creative with storage.<\/strong> <\/mark>Having loads of furniture in a space can make it seem smaller and more crowded. To prevent this, add built-in shelves, use vertical space and invest in furnishings with hidden storage space.<br \/><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">Choose window treatments carefully.<\/mark><\/strong> Heavy fabrics can shrink a space, making it feel more compact and confined. Instead, select light-colored, airy and sheer drapes and curtains that let in more light.<br \/><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\"><strong>Pick a light color scheme.<\/strong> <\/mark>Dark colors work like heavy fabrics. To enlarge a space, focus on lighter color palettes \u2014 whites, pastels, yellows and similar tones.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you ready to begin the search for a space that meets all your needs? <a href=\"http:\/\/BobKratz.HowardHanna.com\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"http:\/\/BobKratz.HowardHanna.com\">Get in touch today.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If your space feels a little cramped, it doesn\u2019t necessarily<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[5,12,976,13,6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2968","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-all-posts-comments","category-events","category-life","category-listings","category-real-estate"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","featured_image_urls":{"full":"","thumbnail":"","medium":"","medium_large":"","large":"","1536x1536":"","2048x2048":"","chromenews-featured":"","chromenews-large":"","chromenews-medium":""},"author_info":{"display_name":"Being BOB","author_link":"https:\/\/beingbobblog.com\/happy-holidays\/author\/admin\/"},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/beingbobblog.com\/happy-holidays\/category\/all-posts-comments\/\" rel=\"category tag\">All Posts &amp; Comments<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/beingbobblog.com\/happy-holidays\/category\/stuff\/events\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Events<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/beingbobblog.com\/happy-holidays\/category\/life\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Life<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/beingbobblog.com\/happy-holidays\/category\/real-estate\/listings\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Listings<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/beingbobblog.com\/happy-holidays\/category\/real-estate\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Real Estate<\/a>","tag_info":"Real Estate","comment_count":"0","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p822aG-LS","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/beingbobblog.com\/happy-holidays\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2968","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/beingbobblog.com\/happy-holidays\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/beingbobblog.com\/happy-holidays\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beingbobblog.com\/happy-holidays\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beingbobblog.com\/happy-holidays\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2968"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/beingbobblog.com\/happy-holidays\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2968\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/beingbobblog.com\/happy-holidays\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2968"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beingbobblog.com\/happy-holidays\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2968"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beingbobblog.com\/happy-holidays\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2968"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
