When I moved to New York City for journalism school, my room in my shared apartment was so small I could nearly touch the ends of each wall simultaneously with my arms outstretched.

When you looked at the mirror at the right angle, it made my room look double the size. That's just one of many clever ways to make a small room feel bigger.
