To make a low-ceiling attic room to look larger, one should paint the walls and ceilings in lighter and less contrasting colors. Use mirrors to reflect natural light and create an illusion of more space due to their reflective nature. Choose unobtrusive furniture and decoration and do not overfill the space. Cupboard and unit shelves are examples of vertical storage solutions which if used as built-in cabinets give the room a less cramped feeling. This can be obtained through the use of a skylight or simply having a window that is located in the right area of the room and makes it seem more spacious.
