Make room for free movement:
A room looks cramped if too much furniture is stuffed inside the room without any definite plan. Move the furniture out and away from the walkways.

Every object of the room from the furniture pieces to the drapes on the window and even the in nearside of the window and door panes must be in coordination to the colour of the walls.
The room must be properly illuminated with as much light as possible:
You can use various tactics for this purpose. Replace heavy window drapes with lighter ones would let the natural light lit up the place. You can add more lamps or install tack lighting or recessed lighting. Use materials that you can see through. Foe example use glass or lucite for tabletops, a clear, frameless glass shower enclosure instead of an opaque glass shower enclosure etc. You can also have a mirrored wall in each of your room and it will definitely make the rooms look larger and at the same time more illuminated.
