Making the Most of Small Bedrooms in Your Rental Home

Small bedroom interior in a rental home.Rental houses obviously come in all shapes and sizes, and so do the rooms inside them. Predominantly depending on the style and age of the property, you may clearly see that the bedrooms in your rental home are a teeny bit on the small side by today’s standards. Rooms that feel dark and cramped are not, in actual fact, enticing potential residents and may make it completely difficult to get your rental home leased quickly. The positive news is that there is a lot you can implement to hugely enhance the look and feel of small bedrooms. Applying a few no-sweat guidelines, you can effectively make bedrooms look bigger than they are.

Light colors make rooms appear larger

The first place majority of design experts start is with paint color. As far as it concerns small spaces, your choice of paint can make a big difference. Interior designers stress utilizing light colors in a single-color family. Coordination is the critical key to making small rooms look bigger. Dark or bright colors and accent walls will very clearly divide the flow of the room, in turn making it look smaller.

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

Utilize empty space to create depth

While, indeed, it sounds outrightly clear, but really empty space is still 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 get it off the floor can vastly help 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 a widely spacious feel.

Lighting and reflective surfaces

Proper lighting and shiny surfaces are a few other practical means to make a small room look bigger. Many different bedrooms have a single overhead light that may or may not exhibit the room in the best light. Think of adding additional lighting to totally illuminate dark corners or brighten a closet. Reflective surfaces like mirrors or glass can tremendously add light and depth to a small space. Weigh about installing a tall mirror on a door or near a window to make the room seem bigger.
