Hanging a mirror an effective way to increase light your space, keep in mind mirrors reflect whatever is in front of them. Try to place the mirror so you are reflecting a great view or something with interest .The best way to reflect light into the space is to place the mirror on the opposite wall of the window.
When you entry a room your eye will catch the biggest item in the room, by placing all large items at the back of the room you automatically draw the eye back. Try to keep your facial point at the back of the room too. Placing the facial point at the entrance can make buyers feel crowed.
Color plays a big part in how large a space feels, keep the paint color light. Light colors recede making the space feel large. Dark colors tend to swallow up the light making the space feel dark and small.
If you are thinking about updating your flooring consider having the flooring installed on a diagonal. This will create the longest straight lines possible in the space. When ever possible use the same flooring through out the space this will create unity and seem more open. Over sized tile can also make the space appear larger even in the smallest rooms.
Over sized furniture can make a space feel small, consider the scale of your furniture to the size of the room. A common mistake to place all the furniture on the walls, pull the furniture away from the wall this will make the space seem cozier.
A great visual trick is to use glass table tops like coffee table, desks and dinning tables. The glass makes you think you can see more space and less clutter.
