I always get a suffocated feeling in my 10 x 10 bedroom where I could barely squeeze in a desk, a bed and some storage which are of course never enough to fit in all my stuff. But somehow after hours of scrolling YT videos, checking out DIY hacks I cracked the trick of making a little room seem larger. After checking out many products on Amazon I finally found the 5 best space saving furniture that somehow magically transformed by space with the much needed aesthetics I always wanted.
I began with avoiding heavy furniture and indulged in those pieces that either become invisible or have three functions simultaneously. By incorporating a multipurpose bookshelf I was able to organize all my books along with decorating its exteriors with the action figures of my favourite anime. Plus I got a sofa cum bed and it helped me gain almost 30 percent in the amount of walkable floor space. I have vetted these five products according to their footprint to utility ratio and ensured that they can address the traps that I frequently encountered in the form of clutter. Lets get a better understanding of these and find out my secret to make a 10 x 10 bedroom look bigger.
Small Space, Big Impact: My Pro Tips for Mastering the 10×10 Room Illusion
- Focus On Legged Furniture: I prefer items that have visible legs (as in the case of the shelf and desk) over those that have a solid surface to allow the floor to be seen so that the brain can perceive more space.
- Adopt the Vertical Skyline: I push all the storage up the walls with hutches and tall racks and leave the eye-level area empty to create a sense of increased distance on the walls.
- Make use of Light Reflection: I place my wall-mounted mirror directly opposite a window or sources of light so the natural light is reflected deep into the corners and this makes the room appear to be twice its depth immediately.
- Invisible and Modular Seating: I used foldable seating like chair and sofa cum bed to make the most of my space. I can anytime put them back in place and leave my walking path with one hundred percent clearance.
