Don’t use dark colors in a small room.
Surely, this is the rule! Everyone knows that they should avoid using dark colors on the walls in a small living room, right? You have already heard that many times, because It is believed that will make the room feel smaller. However, now is not more a rule! Actually, dark colors make a small space feel larger.
Your rug has to be just the right size.
Buying a rug that’s too small for the space is normally seen as a huge mistake. However, the rules exist for a reason, but there’s often an equally good reason for breaking them. Certain colors and patterns, especially when combined can make the rug appear to be larger.
The ceiling has to be white.
Conventional decorating wisdom says that white ceilings reflect light and make a room brighter, but neutral colors can make you feel bored. Painting your living room with different color is not for everyone, but you can definitely make a statement.
