- Hang Curtains High and Wide
Window treatments can significantly impact how large or small your living room feels. Hanging curtains the right way can visually expand your space and make ceilings appear taller.
Instead of hanging curtains directly above the window frame, mount the curtain rod closer to the ceiling. Extend the rod wider than the window so the curtains can be pulled back fully without blocking natural light. This simple trick makes windows look larger and lets in more light.
Choose lightweight fabrics like sheer or linen curtains in light colors. These allow light to flow through the room while still offering privacy. Avoid heavy or dark curtains that can weigh down a small space.
If your apartment has limited wall space, consider roller shades or Roman blinds in neutral tones for a clean and minimal look.
