How can I arrange a narrow, rectangular room to make it look wider?

Answer by  Linily (22)

Build in the furniture, making them fit the room, not the other way round. Keep the long walls as clear as possible. Try not to use dark colours. Try not to over clutter the space. Oh and long mirrors going horizontally on the long walls. Laminate floor laid across the room will make it appear wider.

You do not necessarily have to rearrange your furniture to make the room look wider. You can try to make it appear wider by adding long mirrors to your wall decor. Take a full length mirror and put it sideways behind your couch.
