Use a room divider
Being able to divide your room can provide a number of benefits for any homeowner.
It’s possible you may want to have more privacy if you’re living with roommates. Choosing this item will enable you to separate yourself from others when you want to do so the most.
You will be able to choose from a variety of designs and materials to help your room look and feel its best. For instance, you may want a wooden panel to help make your home more attractive and give a classy feel while keeping dividing the room.
Multi-purpose areas
There aren’t any rules when it comes to decorating your home the way you’d like to or using your space. You can do whatever you want, and this means making all of the rooms as usable as possible for you.
For instance, you may want to create a playroom for your kids in your small apartment. You could use part of the room for your children and make the other part an area for exercising.
Studies show the average size of an apartment in 2013 is approximately 982 square feet, so you may need to find effective ways to make more use of your space.
This will allow you to have the ideal amount of space for you to stay fit and keep an eye on your kids at the same time. This is sure to be a winning situation for any parent.
Rely on curtains
If you want a more flexible way to conceal some of the things in a room, choose a curtain to help you do so. Keeping a variety of things hidden, such as boxes or shelves packed full with things you use each day can make the room look claustrophobic.
However, you can use curtains to hide many things in any room of your home, and this will automatically cause the room to appear larger for you.
Declutter
Of course, you may think that you need a lot of furniture or items in your home, but getting rid of what you don’t use or need can give you more space. Take the time on a routine basis to clear out items that could be dragging your space down or making it look smaller.
This is an ideal way to give you more room to live in each day and can be helpful when it comes to making you get things done.

Bonus tip: Maximize natural light
Natural light makes even the most cramped, bijou spaces appear bigger and brighter. Try to maximize natural light by angling furniture towards windows and doors and using light colors for the walls and flooring. Hang mirrors on the wall to bounce light around and avoid clutter at all costs. Open your curtains and blinds wide every morning and consider adding light to dark spaces with new windows, skylights, lanterns, or doors. Check out door installations with Opal Enterprises for ideas and inspiration. You can choose from a range of styles for standard windows and doors or opt for patio doors that offer easy access to the garden and great views.
As well as creating spacious, open, and light living spaces, adding natural light to your home can also boost your mood and make you feel good. Studies show that bright rooms make us feel better and natural light can also enhance productivity

Good article about living room. I read an article about indoor decoration before, which refers to how make small space look big.
These tips are very helpful. I do declutter regularly. I also have my couch placed to divide the living room.
Great tips. I have a small home and love finding ways to make the house feel larger. I have huge issues dealing with clutter. I put things away, however the rest of the family are less successful. I bet if everything was put away it would automatically feel so much larger.
Great tips! I love to keep everything clutter free and I do my best, but it seems like the toys keep appearing in the living room! AH!
These are great tips!! I am starting my project declutter today!
This is a perfect time to use these tips ,out with the old..Toys ,clothes etc. In with the new goodies from Christmas!
These are all great ideas! I dislike clutters, so not a problem for me.
Decluttering is something we are REALLY needing!! Especially now after Christmas!! I find myself going a little crazy with stuff everywhere lol!!
These are all such good ideas. I am shamed to say that I have an entire room dedicated to stuff (boxes included). My New Years resolution is to deal with it!
If I would just declutter my room, I’d be amazed at how much space is usable.
These are all good tips and I am trying to declutter right now. I should have done more before our move.
I have to declutter in a major way. I plan on decluttering when the Christmas decorations are put away.
I would think a divider would make an already small space too small. I agree that curtains and Dr cluttering helps. Something I desperately need to do.
Ugh – #4 is what gets me every time. I used to be much more anal about clutter. But I fought the good fight and they won! lol
we have 9 kids, so 11 people in our house, although we need to move, until we do these are some great ideas.
I agree that removing clutter will make any space feel bigger.
I wish I could declutter everyday.
Good tips! I live in 3 bedroom, 900 sq foot town home. Space is at a premium! Thank you.
