Depending on the size of the space you have, you should adjust the size of your furniture. If a room is too small and furniture too large for it, the room will feel cramped and uninviting.

The use of color is also a good way to create focal points or make spaces feel larger or smaller, depending on the mood you intend to create. If you don’t feel confident enough to choose the best items or colors for your space, you can always contact a professional who is ready to help you.
