We’ve put together 4 decorating tricks you can use to create the illusion of spaciousness in your home
Lighting
Brighten up your environment with natural light! Remove any obstructive blinds and curtains to let the sun’s rays illuminate your room. Add skylights, if possible; a creative way of capturing sunlight from above, making rooms appear more spacious than ever before.
Mirrors
Mirrors are a great way to make a room look bigger as they help reflect and bounce light from the windows. Another benefit of hanging a mirror on the wall is that it reflects the view and tricks the eye into the perception of increased space. How great is that?! PS – we recommend full-length ones for a fuller effect !
Light colours
Interior design is an art form, and colour selection plays a critical role in its success. With the right hues, you can create a masterpiece; with the wrong ones…well let’s just say it’s best to be aim for beauty rather than disaster!
Choosing a light-coloured paint for your walls can help reflect light and therefore give the impression that your space is much bigger that what it is.
When decorating your space, the possibilities are endless! White is always a safe and timeless option but if you’re feeling adventurous why not explore muted shades of greys, beiges and other neutrals for an on-trend look? The choice belongs to YOU.
Enhance floor space
For an instant illusion of spaciousness, push your furniture against the wall and add a few hanging shelves to free up even more floor space. Complement this look with a stylish rug that leaves enough room around it – you’ll be amazed at how much bigger your room will appear!
