To much furniture and clutter can make even a big room look small. In a small room it's even more important to keep the clutter under control.

It can be hard to do but you'll have to get rid of some stuff. Things that you don't use on a daily basis shouldn't be out on shelves - except maybe for a few favorite chachkies. Clean out your closet and either store away or get rid of things that you don't wear at least once a month. Store you seasonal clothes. A closet organizing system can help a lot. Raise your bed up and store stuff underneath it.

What you should do is, throw out everything that you don't want. Clear out all the boxxes and junk. If you have big furniture, and you don't want it, sell it. Then buy some new small furniture.

Answer 5

my roommate and i moved in, each with a ton of stuff that we will need when we have our own apartments, but don't need doubles of. she had the brillant idea of placing her bed on bricks. (cinder blocks, or some places have blocks specifically for this)

she then had room for storage totes, or canvas baskets, or cubbies that they use for nuts and bolts whatever else they use for mechanics or woodworking (she uses it for jewelry, makeup, nail clippers, all the little stuff that lays around)

a few months later i did the same thing and it freed up so much space. (i should mention we both have traditional bed, mattress, box spring, frame)

next place your bed in the center of the room so you can pull storage from every direction (sides and foot, if you don't have a footboard.

leave the blinds open as much as possible, if you live on the first floor, point up to the inside, if you live on the second floor pointing down to the inside. natural light will make it look bigger.

tall narrow shelving instead of bedside tables will pull the room UP! and give you room to place rarely used objects at the top, and frequently used items in arms reach.

if you can't paint the room, try a striped bed cover, it will enlongate the bed making the whole room look longer.

the best advice is to declutterize. everything has a place, everything in it's place. decorative storage boxes stacked for seasonal clothing or projects, a closet organizer can work wonders.

you have to determine how much you want to spend to clean it up, versus how long you're going to be there.

Answer 7

Use light colors. I'd also try some little knick knacks that are colorful.

Answer 8

I would suggest to paint it a light color such as cream.
