Making the Most of Small Bedrooms in Your Rental Home

Small bedroom interior in a rental home.Rental houses, without question, come in all shapes and sizes, and so do the rooms inside them. Conditional on the style and age of the property, you may see clearly that the bedrooms in your rental home are a bit on the teeny side by today’s standards. Rooms that feel dark and cramped are not exactly appealing to potential residents and may make it difficult to get your rental home leased quickly. The happy news is that there is a lot you can put into effect to develop and improve the look and feel of small bedrooms. Using a few very easy guidelines, you can, without much difficulty, make bedrooms look bigger than they are.

Light colors make rooms appear larger

The first place lots of design experts start is with paint color. Relative to small spaces, your choice of paint can make a big difference. Interior designers firmly recommend applying light colors in a single-color family. Coordination is the indispensable key to making small rooms look bigger. Dark or bright colors and accent walls will clearly divide the room’s flow, making it look smaller.

Another basic design strategy is to paint the trim a lighter color. White is typically the preferred choice on the account that it reflects light and gives a space a clean, airy feel. When the trim is lighter than the wall color, this creates a sense of depth that can help a small room seem larger than it, in fact, is.

Utilize empty space to create depth

Even while it sounds notably obvious, empty space is one of the best ways to make a bedroom look larger. Dark or large light fixtures, long, heavy curtains, and other features can crowd a small room. If your rental home is furnished, furniture with narrow lines and legs that lift it off the floor can help largely keep the room from feeling cramped. Another tip is to hang sheer drapes just below the ceiling, drawing the eye upward and giving the room an amazingly spacious feel.

Lighting and reflective surfaces

Proper lighting and shiny surfaces are a few other ways to make a small room look bigger. Numerous bedrooms have a single overhead light that may or may not disclose the room in the best light. Look into adding additional lighting to light up dark corners or brighten a closet. Reflective surfaces like mirrors or glass can add light and depth to a small space. Take into consideration installing a tall mirror on a door or near a window to make the room seem bigger.
