This colour light and furniture advice will help your minuscule living space look hip and feel (almost) huge.

1. Nail your colour scheme: mixing rainbow of colours makes a room look puny so choose single base colour and use different shades of it. Then pick a bright  accent hue and scatter it around. Since eyes automatically go to  colour it would be a good idea to keep fun pieces like funky vases and decorative teapots  in different corners of the room as this will give an impression of expanded space.
2. Skimp on pattern: stay away from large scale prints and ornate wall papers or a patterned sofa because a lot of busy designs will shrink you’re the already  small space even further.
3. Mix up your light sources: ditch overheads and mega watt lamps as such big and bright light sources emphasize a spaces (pint size)dimensions. Instead place a number of soft lights which can be achieved from a mix of cool table lamps and floor lamps, around the room including the corners. According to interior designing experts, illuminating a corner can add two feet of visual space.
4. Use mirrors strategically: by reflecting light and movement, mirrors add interesting dimensions to small and limited spaces. But remember!Don’t just throw them anywhere or everywhere. The best use of mirrors would be to hang them near light  sources such as across from windows and next to lamps so that they’ll have alot to reflect.
5. Create a “conversation” circle: instead of placing your sofas and chairs against the walls, move them closer together to create a cozy grouping that acts as a “room within a room”. To highlight the conversation area further put a  small rug under that encircles that area and makes it stand apart. This frees up the wall from bookshelves and side tables ,creating and illusion of depth.
