Everyone loves the luxury of space, but with growing urbanisation, space is becoming an area of compromise. Even when you opt for a luxury apartment with ample space, the need for more always lingers on.
Here are a few tips for you to make your home look more spacious.
Using light and colour to advantage: Letting ample of light in the house can make a space look bigger. Also use of light colours, neutral or muted tones tends to maximise visual space. Using a single colour throughout your home area also makes the space visually large.
Think Vertically: Instead of opting for traditional styles of horizontal wall units and cabinets, think tall. Choosing tall, slim bookshelves will not only mean more shelves or storage but also the space feeling less cramped. Hanging painting high on the wall to align with your tall furniture would also draw the eyes upwards.
Trick the eye with mirrors: It’s no big secret that a well-placed mirror does wonders for a room, large or small. Mirrors give the illusion of having a bigger space, and a pretty frame can add to the décor as well.
Choosing one large piece of furniture for each room: Too much furniture can make a space look cramped. Choose wisely and with priority. Also always measure the space you have before you try to fit in something.
Lastly, be organised: The mantra, ‘A place for everything, and everything in its place’ can do wonders to your home if you adhere to it. Clutter is the easiest way to make your home look cramped. Get creative and find storage areas that can help you store stuff while keeping your home organised. Getting furniture that has hidden storage always works well.
Your need for constant space will never end, but these tips will help you with achieving a look that will make your home look spacious.
