Paint the Furniture
Dark furniture makes your space look smaller. Even when you have plenty of natural light coming in, the dark wood of the dining room table, the bookshelves and the side tables creates the optical illusion of a small space. Adding lighter wood stains or lighter paints to the mix is an ideal solution. Using a whitewash instead of a dark oak color will almost immediately turn your apartment into a space with an open feel.
