Light Paint Color
-
Painting your interior walls with a light color can definitely make your small home appear larger. Many people assume that white is the only color that will make rooms in a small room appear larger, but a light paint color will accomplish the same thing. If you also have low ceilings, you can paint them white to make them seem taller. To give the illusion that the entire room is larger, you should paint the ceiling a shade lighter than the color used on the walls.
Mirrors
-
Using mirrors is a great idea to make small homes appear larger and more open. A mirror placed strategically in a room will reflect the space, making it seem as if there is additional space in the room. Play around with the placement of the mirror/s in the room to get the best illusion of more space.

Light
-
Light makes a room feel bigger. In some instances, the rooms in your small home may not have ample, natural light from windows. Therefore, you would have to purchase lamps or other lighting fixtures to use in the room to create light.
Small Furniture
-
Using smaller furniture in a small room will give the room a larger feel. Also, using less furniture in a smaller room will also make it appear larger. Even an extremely large room that is filled with a lot of big pieces of furniture will make it feel cramped. Remember when you have a small home with small rooms, less is always more and size counts.
