How to paint a small room to make it seem bigger

Which curtains visually expand a room

Dark and thick curtains visually make the room smaller. Light and light - increase.

If you are not particularly shy, you can choose completely weightless options that will only frame the window, make the room more airy and let in a lot of light.

Plain fabrics that can be smooth or textured are optimal.

The texture should not be too shiny, nor heavy or fleecy.

In small but tall rooms, you can use materials with a dim and narrow horizontal stripe, which will visually expand the space.
