You want to make every room look as spacious as possible to attract potential buyers when selling a home. Smaller bedrooms, in particular, can be tricky to style. The following are some basic tips to create the illusion of space in a tiny bedroom. 

Making Small Bedrooms Look Larger: Tips And Tricks

Decorate With Light Colors

Less saturated colors reflect light, making a room seem more spacious. When selling a home, paint the walls of the bedrooms white or another light tone. Opt for white, pastels, or light neutrals for the bedding. During showings, open the blinds to let natural light in. If you have mirrors hanging, don’t pack them away just yet. Mirrors create an illusion of more space in a room by reflecting light around. All of these details will help a small bedroom look airy and comfortable.

Clear Any Clutter

selling a homeClutter takes up space, and too many objects can shrink a room. Clear the surface of the dresser and nightstand, and keep the shelves and closet fairly minimal. You should also minimize the bedding to avoid a bulky appearance. Put all of your personal belongings in a box out of sight to keep for when you move into your new home. 

Remove Excess Furniture

While clutter can make a space look smaller, too much furniture can have an even more prominent effect. Keep only the necessary bedroom furniture. This could mean removing a chair in the corner or a bookshelf against a wall. Even just a few feet of extra floor space can make bedrooms more appealing when selling a home.

Add a Smaller Bed

The bed is a bedroom’s most prominent feature, so you can create space by adding a smaller mattress. Switch out a king or queen bed for a full or double in the master bedroom. Consider adding twin beds to the extra bedrooms, since families might use them as children’s rooms. When a buyer pictures their own furniture in the space, the room will seem larger.
