The furniture in the 1st one is typically seen in renders and that's what gives it away. Also the tree is not quite real. Other details like creases in the carpets/dhurries and the pattern of it.

Hi! There are a few sure shot ways to create an illusion of space. Light colours mirrors accent wall vertical lines add height to a room horizontal lines add width To actually increase the functionality of the space, you can look at multipurpose furniture that can be moved and opened or closed to achieve the desired area composition Keep in mind to buy or make furniture that looks spacious in proportion to the room. I hope this helps! Best, CUBSpaces Team 9923893771

Hi Tanmayi, Going for white walls is always safe, this will helps in giving a light feel to the room plus gives a lot of scope to bring in the patters and colours to the room in other forms (like curtains, cushions, wall art/frames, etc) PAINT SHADE(2 Options) Would also like to advice you to have a subtle wallpaper either in the niche portion of the TV wall or for the entire headboard wall. (Assuming the other walls may have windows or doors) SOME WALLPAPER REFERENCE IMAGES: Later you can gradually bring in other elements as per your taste and time and pull up the room together. Hope this helps! Best Regards, CUBS Team!
