Light colors for a larger space
Where dark furniture makes a room seem smaller, light furniture works the exact opposite way. After all, a light color reflects the light, making the furniture itself seem less imposing and the room look larger.
It is also best to paint the walls in a light color for the same effect. Colored walls are certainly allowed, but in moderation. Mirrors are a good idea because they reflect light which in turn enlarges the room.

Functionality with the right furniture
The amount of space in a student room is limited. By choosing furniture with different functions, you create added value in a small room. For example:
- A fold-out bed creates more space during the day by allowing you to store the bed in the wall.
- Choose a desk and dining table in one, that way you don't have to keep space to install both in a student room.
- A sofa bed is the ideal way to turn your sleeping area into a sitting area without wasting unnecessary space. When choosing a (bunk) seat, make sure the fabrics are easy to clean. Another good option is a removable cover.
Tip: Be sure to utilize space that would otherwise be lost, such as by placing a closet under the stairs or installing drawers under the bed.
Create a certain style in the room. A room full of furniture that does not match each other looks untidy and busy, making the room seem smaller.


Creating the right atmosphere
Besides functionality, you still want to create coziness when decorating your rental project. By choosing a ceiling lamp and a desk lamp, the functional light is already ticked off, but what about the mood lighting? By providing a few mood lights, you can make a student room very cozy at night.
And what about an air-purifying plant? Plants provide more coziness and, in addition, they also provide more oxygen, allowing students to concentrate better while studying. Win-win!
