10 Simple Ways To Make Your Small Room Look Bigger Using Etsy Products Under $25

One of the keys to making your space look bigger is to downsize the amount of stuff you have in your room. Makes sense, right? Less stuff equals more space, but you don't necessarily want to get rid of a bunch of items you love. Instead, invest in some cute storage. This three-pocket hanging wall storage ($16) will not only hide your smaller items, but it can help to keep things off the floor, which is valuable space.

More mirrors will also create the illusion of a bigger room. A nice corner space with a rectangular mirror is great for both opening up the room and giving you a place to take #OOTD mirror selfies. But if you're looking for something super cute, get these geometric mirrors ($19) to hang over your dresser.

While warm colors tend to give off a cozy feeling, lighter colors will make a room feel more spacious. So, you'll definitely want to aim for more white decor. Start off by decorating with some inspirational white wall art ($9) like this "courage over comfort" quote.

Another way to make your space feel bigger is to scale down your decor. For instance, if you add a smaller version of something that's normally large, it'll make everything else around it seem bigger. If you want to go to extreme, get this adorable moon lamp ($14). It'll make your space larger than the moon — literally.

Vertical stripes can also help to make your room feel longer than it actually is. Get some vertical wall art or this hanging photo display ($10). It's great for heightening your room, and a cute way to show off your fave mini Polaroid pictures.

Just like lighter colors will open up your space, so will adding more light. Getting a few cute lamps will help, but if you're a candle lover, you could also use this as an excuse to increase your collection. If you're feeling a bit overwhelmed with juggling that work-life balance, get this stress-relief candle ($16). It has notes of eucalyptus, spearmint, and lavender, which are all meant to calm you down.

Just like vertical stripes are meant to heighten your space, some horizontal art will widen it. Of course, the more things you add to your wall, the more clutter you're adding to your space. My advice: Go with one statement piece like this horizontal sun art ($5) to hang over your bed.

When trying to declutter, you can never have too much storage space. These fabric storage bin boxes ($13) are so handy to have around. They're perfect for storing items, but they're also just cute on their own. That means you can keep them hidden in your closet or under the bed, but you can also have them stacked in a corner for more decor.

If you're a plant connoisseur, you may want to add some greenery to your room. You know size is key, so you'll want to try getting something small. These starter succulents ($15) are perfect for that. They're just small enough that they won't take too much room on your dresser or bookshelf.

You could also create an open feeling by using lightweight materials on your bed. Go for lighter shades like white or beige. A beige throw blanket ($23) like this one fits that description. It can also be easily thrown on your bed for one of the quickest ways to make over your space.
