Creating a serene bedroom environment is so important. There are plenty of ways to make the room feel so much bigger with just a few design tricks. Not only can specific paint colors affect your overall mood, but paint colors can also change how a room can look overall — even making rooms appear bigger than they actually are, which is excellent if you lack square footage.

According to Paintzen, making a room appear larger is a simple process.
