Getting a small area around the house or the entire house to look bigger is possible. Follow these simple steps and give a spacious room appeal to your home.
1. Repaint the ceiling or use a wallpaper to give the room a taller appearance
It doesn’t matter whether it is your living room, or your bedroom, repainting the ceiling or making use of wallpaper can make a room appear bigger. The trick is that a brightly painted ceiling tends to make you raise your brows upwards and as a result it makes the room appear large and spacious.
2. Use light color paint on the walls to give a look of spacious room
When the walls in a room are painted with dark colors, it makes the room seem a bit cozier due to that they absorb light. Whereas when the walls are painted with bright colors, it helps to make a room more spacious since light easily gets reflected around the room.
3. Ensure furniture’s aren’t placed closed to the wall
Creating space between the wall and furniture creates the illusion of a large room; this makes the room look more open unlike when you place them close to the wall which makes the area look cramped.
4. Use light colors on the floor also
Just like in the case of a brightly painted wall, a brightly colored floor also gives a room a spacious outlook. You can opt for a floor remodeling if you are up for it or simply just get a brightly colored rug or carpet.
5. Place shelves close to the ceiling to get people to look up
You can also make a small space look bigger by putting structures in place to draw the eye towards the ceiling. And one effective way you can achieve this is to hang a shelf close to the ceiling. It can probably be a book shelf or one with an array of decorations that are pleasing to the eyes.
6. Make use of large decorative accents
Accenting a room with large decorations such as tall vases or handcrafted items can get it to look large. This is because few large decorations in a room give it a detailed outlook unlike when you cramp it up with smaller decorations scattered here and there.
7. Go for furniture’s that makes a statement
So you want the living room to be a lot spacious to make room for air and light, a simple way to achieve this is to make use of a large couch instead of several small pieces which makes it look a lot cluttered.
8. Place a striped rug on the floor
This works perfectly in a small bedroom. Placing a striped rug like that of a zebra will therefore make your room appear bigger.
9. Use color coding on shelves
Arranging items on shelves according to colors makes space looked structured and organized. Consequently, which will ultimately give the room a spacious appeal.
10. Improve a tiny bathroom with a clear shower curtain
You can give a small bathroom a spacious look by getting a brightly colored shower curtain.
