Wide angle lenses allow a bigger view but you can also use them to create the impression of greater distance and greater depth of field.
Use a tripod or other support to support your camera but this will also slow you down to allow you to concentrate on your subject and see it differently.
Don't place your photographic subject dead-centre in the frame with a lot of surrounding space. Move in close, shift to one side, up or down to make for a much more interesting composition.
