7 Tips for Making Small Spaces Feel Bigger

Isla Del Sol’s luxury condo units are between 1,300 and 1,440 square feet. These surprisingly spacious areas will still be an adjustment if you are used to living in a home. Small areas don’t have to be overcrowded with your furniture and other items, though.  The following tip and tricks can help you make the most of your small spaces:

1. Leave Space


Having your furniture flush against the wall will not make the room feel bigger. If you leave space between furniture, it will give the appearance of more space. Whether it's angling the bed or moving the sofa father away from the wall, it can help give the space more room. If you want to utilize the space between the wall and couch, try placing a small skinny table between the two and use it for more storage space.

2. Be Mindful of Color


Darker colors will make the room appear smaller. Lighter colors, such as white, cream, pale gray and blues, will keep the area lighter and more open.  Lighter colored floors will also help create the sense of more space, so keep area rugs neutral colors.


3. Draw the Eyes Up


Having a pop of color on the ceilings is a good way to make your room seem taller. Anything that draws the eye up will help with creating depth. If you do not want to color your ceilings, having a nice design or even a beautiful chandelier will help.


4. Multiuse Pieces


Furniture that has more than one use is a simple way to get the most out of any room. Ottomans with built-in storage space are great for hiding away blankets or other items that could clutter a room.


5. Leave Windows Bare


Drapes can make a room seem dark and confined. More light gives a room depth. Plus, if you leave your windows bare you will be able to see the beautiful views of the lake. If you are worried about privacy, sheet white drapes will cover your windows without the need of heavy curtains.


6. Use Stripes


Stripes will help make a room appear longer. Position the stripes to go the length of the wall that is the longest for the best results.

7. Get Organized


Arrange the items on your bookshelf and tables by height and color. This will give your un-organized mess some structure. Having your items intentionally arranged will make the room more streamlined. This trick works for books or essentially anything that is visible in your home.
