1. Use the space
Having your stuff shoved up against the wall just leaves your home looking cluttered and uncoordinated. Use the space in the room and scatter your furniture around it.

2. The table of a thousand uses
If you’re going to buy furniture, make sure you buy multifunctional pieces. Instead of a simple ottoman, buy one with internal storage, buy a work desk with shelves and drawers included.

3. Fold up furniture
There are beds, chairs, tables and all other types of furniture that can be folded up and put away when you’re not using them. In some cases they turn into a smaller version of themselves meaning you can still use them.

4. Open the curtains, then get rid
Having uncovered windows will trick your eyes into thinking the room has more depth. It also reveals the view outside which (depending on the landscape) will make your room feel vast. If you need privacy, light colour drapes that allow light will still add to the room.

5. Colour Coded Disaster Area
Got loads of clutter like books, DVD and Blu-ray cases? Try colour coding them! Rather than a messy eyesore, you’ll have a colour coded display.

6. Go big in your home
A small room full of small furniture doesn’t necessarily mean it’ll look bigger. Sometimes it’s better to have one big, eye catching piece of furniture.

7. House of Mirrors
Well not literally because then your home will resemble a funfair. A strategically placed mirror will give the house the illusion of size.
