Creating a space that looks and feels bigger can be challenging, especially when the room is small. A larger living space can create a relaxing, luxurious feel which can also add value to your home. So no matter what size your home is, with the right styling and optical tips, you can design a spacious home that you and your family will love.
Choose lighter tones to decorate your space, this applies to everything from paint to the furniture your use. Dark colors can make a room feel smaller, so opt for lighter shades instead. This will help to brighten up the space and give the room openness. Product shown is HW3636 Amazon.
By adding in some vertical panelling to your walls it will make lower ceilings appear higher, plus add depth to the entire space.
It’s an old trick but one that works every time. Adding a mirror to sit opposite a window or doorway is the perfect way to create a bigger, open space and give the illusion of depth.
A simple spring clean and removal of clutter can make a stuffy room look and feel spacious. Have a look at your space and see if there is anything that you can remove or place in storage. It’s one of the many reasons why organization and cleaning shows are so popular, they not only help you to declutter your home, it helps people feel calm and relaxed.
Always measure the size of your space before purchasing furniture. Big and bulky furniture in a small space can make the room feel cramped, not to mention difficult to move around in. By selecting the right size pieces you can transform your space and make it feel larger. Product shown is HW961 Amendo.
Airy, drapes that start higher than your window frame will draw the eye to where they begin giving your room more height. Remember to opt for draping that is a lighter tone and softer fabric. That way the sun can peek through during the day giving your room an open feel. Product shown is HW16002 Pallido.
Lighting is everything when it comes to creating the illusion of more space.
Allowing in natural light often makes a room feel more open but if this is not an option for you try adding extra lighting. Think lamps, and even spotlights for extra warmth and glow to illuminate your space and make it feel bigger.
