8. Use a larger rug

You don’t have to cover the living room with carpeting to make it look bigger or feel cozy. You can do this by having hardwood floors and then buying a larger rug to increase the small space’s size and creativity. Choosing a rug, especially one with a bold pattern, can deceive people’s vision and make the room appear larger than it is.

This home decor trick is because the size does not break down the floor like smaller rugs, and it gives your room an essential item that can make the area stand out. It can also help you get more creative when decorating as you can have more colors to work with. Furthermore, buying a carpet with a lighter color can help increase the brightness in the room.
