A small room needn't stop you creating a bright and airy space to relax in.
There are simple interior design 'tricks' that you can use to create the impression of extra space and light.
A light and bright colour scheme can really open up a room. If white is too much for you, go warmer with creams, or other pastels.
These will all act to bounce light around the space. Cleverly placed mirrors are doubly useful. Not only do they reflect huge amounts of light, they can appear to push the walls out on which they are hanging.
Glass tables create that transparent look which looks fab.
The impression of extra height in the room can be created by keeping the ceiling very plain and very white.
Low upholstery can also enhance space. Try a Cuddler Chair (oversized chair) instead of a sofa, very cozy and compact.
Vertical striped wallpaper can also draw the eye upwards and away from the walls, whilst horizontal stripes will have the opposite effect.
