Steal clever decorating and space-saving tricks to live big in your own small spaces.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">A few design, style, and organization tricks can make a small house live large. Customize these <a href=\"https:\/\/www.elegantkitchenbath.com\/clone\/top-5-attic-renovation-ideas\/\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"7197\">ideas to your layout and floor<\/a> plan for a personalized, yet strategic setup that works for you.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p3\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tricks_for_Small_Living_Rooms\"><\/span>Tricks for Small Living Rooms<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Trick #1:<\/span> Exposed-leg furniture airs out a space, but every room needs a little grounding. Here, the skirted sofa is up for the job. Without it, the leggy pieces would look as if they were ready to walk away.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Trick #2:<\/span> Choose materials that don&#8217;t obstruct sight lines. Here, a wire mesh coffee table adds texture and function without visual weight.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>It&#8217;s the same effect as a Lucite piece in that it&#8217;s almost invisible.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p4\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mirrors\"><\/span>Mirrors:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\">Trick #3:<\/span> Create the illusion of a spacious room by adding mirrors to your decor. The simple, yet versatile accessories add depth to the room and open it up with added light and dimension. Antique glass is a nice way to open up a room without feeling like you&#8217;re staring at yourself.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p3\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.elegantkitchenbath.com\/clone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/image1-31-2-300x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" title=\"%focuskw% %page%%sitename%\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.elegantkitchenbath.com\/clone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/image1-31-2-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.elegantkitchenbath.com\/clone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/image1-31-2-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.elegantkitchenbath.com\/clone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/image1-31-2-80x80.png 80w, https:\/\/www.elegantkitchenbath.com\/clone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/image1-31-2-40x40.png 40w, https:\/\/www.elegantkitchenbath.com\/clone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/image1-31-2.png 670w, https:\/\/www.elegantkitchenbath.com\/clone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/image1-31-2-100x100.png 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/h3>\n<h3 class=\"p3\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Eat_Prep_Work\"><\/span>Eat, Prep, Work:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Trick #4:<\/span> Double up function when needed.
