There are plenty of easy ways to add space without remodeling your entire home. This four-part series zeroes in on specific ideas that open up your home’s interior.

Take a look at these ideas for enlargening your bedrooms:

1. Instead of having a bed stick out in the center of the room, try a different furniture arrangement with the bed pushed up against the wall.
2. Choosing furniture low to the ground provides clear sight lines across the room.
3. Light paint in a soothing, neutral shade will open up the room and create a relaxing retreat.
4. Set up a lighting scheme that best suits the space. Recessed lighting, track lighting, and lamps are just a few illuminating options.
5. Use mirrors to accentuate the lighting and expand the space while adding decorative flair.
6. Light fabrics on curtains and bed linens keep the room feeling breezy and comfortable.
7. Containers kept under the bed provide inconspicuous storage.
8. It is also easy to hide storage baskets away and to carry them around, making for a convenient and functional storage option.
9. Shelving that expands vertically instead of horizontally will help utilize the space to its full potential.
10. There are a variety of closet organizers that will add structure to your storage space.
