Interior Design Hack: How Hanging Curtains Can Instantly Make Your Room Look Bigger

A recent online video by home decor enthusiast Sandra, known as 'Sandra | Interior & Lifestyle,' has garnered attention for a simple yet effective interior design tip. The video, uploaded on September 21, 2025, showcases a popular method to visually enlarge a room using curtain placement. The creator demonstrates a 'before and after' comparison, initially showing curtains hung directly above and beside the window frame. The subsequent transformation reveals curtains installed significantly higher and wider than the window, extending closer to the ceiling and sidewalls. This technique, according to Sandra, creates an illusion of a larger window and, consequently, a more spacious room. Sandra states in the video, 'Hang them as high and wide as possible,' emphasizing the core principle of the hack. She also notes its effectiveness, mentioning that 'Currently 4/5 of the rooms in my home have this window dressing and it looks good in every single one.' The video highlights a practical and accessible approach for individuals looking to enhance their living spaces without extensive renovations.
