Making Your Small Space Big

Sometimes, all it takes is moving furniture and sometimes, it is a little bit more complicated than that. But wanting the space in your house to look more spacious with the very limited space you have now can be quite a challenge and to be frank with you, it might take a couple of trial and errors. But trust us when we tell you that it would all be worth it. Making your space - whether it is in your bedroom or your living room bigger - just makes you feel freer and usually, this is why most houses today opt for open plan houses. If you’re wanting to make your small space just that bit bigger, here are a few ways you can do so:

Clean It

As silly as this may sound, we cannot tell you the difference cleaning makes for your space. Even little things like putting things where they belong just open up more room for you and it allows you to feel like your home is not overcrowded and cluttered.

The Magic Of Mirrors

Hanging mirrors in spaces you want to make appear bigger is one of the hottest tips we have for you. Just like windows, having mirrors in your room creates the illusion that the room is bigger than it is because it doesn’t look like four walls are closing in on you and feels more open.

The Perfect Mix Of Lighting And Paint

With the right lighting sitting in the space and the right colour of paint, the space can look quite big. Lighting, especially natural lighting, allows sunlight to shine straight into the space which helps it to brighten up and in turn, makes it feel bigger. Now, with the combination of the right paint and the lighting, the paint can emphasise this illusion even more.

Incorporate Glass

Just like mirrors and windows, the glass will do the same trick for you. You can choose to have glass wherever - glass windows or even glass doors. When you are able to see through things, it makes the space feel bigger and more incorporated.

Think Outside Of The Box

When we say think outside of the box, we also mean literally, think outside the box (the box in this case is your home). If you have a backyard that you don’t usually occupy, maybe you can make the space of your house bigger without having to create any illusions. Home extensions are among the most popular choices rather than looking for a bigger house because it is more cost-effective.
