A simple decorating trick that makes even the smallest room feel spacious

A small room can look noticeably bigger without moving house or spending heavily on a larger property. The trick is to use curtains carefully.

When installed correctly, curtains can make a room appear larger, taller and more spacious. The method focuses on changing the visual impression of the existing space rather than adding more floor area.

Moving to a bigger home remains one possible solution to a lack of space, but it requires deep pockets. Using curtains offers a simpler way to make the most of the room already available.
