Use neutral or light colours to make a living room look bigger. It is because the light colours make a room look bigger and brighter.
White walls are more reflective while making the room feels open and airy. To add more interest, you can highlight one wall with neutral or light gray. For an optimum effect, soft tones of gray and white are a great choice.
2. Cut The Clutter With Storage Units

Keep your living room tidy and organized to make space look bigger. Clutter space makes your home look small and untidy as well. So, to de-clutter, you need enough storage space where you can store your things to make space look bigger.
With things properly organized and out of sight will not make space look spacious but also allow you to find items easily. For, this you can create storage cabinets with some open shelves on a feature wall in the living room.
Also, keep the floor as clean as possible to make the room look bigger.

Mirrors in the room can make your space look larger and attractive as well. Use a wall behind upholstery to hang a large mirror with a wooden frame. It will create a focal point that gives the illusion of depth in your room.
The large wall mirror also reflects natural as well as artificial light that will make your room brighter during the day and night. Therefore a deep reflection of light in the room makes it look bigger.
Try to place a mirror near a window to reflect the maximum natural light in your living room. Take the idea from the above image.

An open floor with minimal furniture makes your room look bigger and spacious as well. For, this you can use customized furniture that takes less space and maximizes the floor area. For example, you can go for a dining table with seating stoles which you can hide under the table when not in use.
Further, you can use a sofa cum bed that helps you to save space and allow you to sleep at night. Also, choose a simple design for the TV unit. All these smart furniture ideas will save a lot of space and make your room look bigger.
For the floor, choose light wood tiles and for walls choose white paint as this will also make space look spacious.
Take ideas from the above inspirations and design your home like a pro.
