Platform beds - beds on legs where there is a reasonable amount of space under - give off visual cues of more space. Something about being able to see some of the area under the furniture makes us perceive the floor space as roomier. Platform beds, such as this Bed For Rent, usually have sleeker frames too, which work well rooms that are on the smaller side. Added benefit: A couple of drawers or a few storage boxes can fit neatly under and give you a few extra shelves of precious closet space.4. Keep it Light, but Keep it Bright
