It takes an army to accomplish the task of completely decorating a house. There are so many aesthetics and strategies involved to make it appear cognitive and aesthetically appealing. When working on the interior of a home one of the key elements is to make the rooms appear bigger and more spacious.
It is not an easy job especially if you are designing a small space as you need to make the room look bigger and spacious as well as clutter-free and vibrant. However, there are a lot of ways by which you can achieve this humongous task on your hand. You can make your rooms look bigger, breathable, spacious and utterly welcoming. Want to know, read along!
1- Create an illusion to give the room a little depth
Paint your room in light colors, such as white, beige, or light pastels. Light colors reflect more light and create a sense of spaciousness. Avoid using dark colors, as they tend to make a room feel smaller.
When there is a contrast of shades missing in the room, it will make it appear smaller, so do not forget to add a tinge of color with your neutral pallet.
Another notable thing is that if you want to create the illusion of a bigger room, only nude shades will not help. You need to have a perfect balance so that the room will appear calm and relaxing as well as spacious.
2- Clutter-free room does the job
Clutter-free space will automatically do the job of making the room appear bigger and more spacious. Be picky when it comes to furniture. Choose furniture pieces that serve more than one purpose, such as a sofa bed or an ottoman that doubles as storage. This will help to reduce clutter and make the room feel more spacious.
Remember to let your room breathe so you can breathe in peace and for that going clutter-free is the key.
3- Use vertical space
Utilize the vertical space in your room by adding shelves or tall bookcases. This will draw the eye upward and create the illusion of height, making the room feel more spacious. Be sure to keep the shelves organized and clutter-free to maintain the feeling of spaciousness.
4- Light it to brighten it
Allow as much natural light into the room as possible. This can be achieved by using light, sheer curtains or blinds that can be easily pulled back. If possible, remove any large or bulky window treatments that may block natural light.
This will have a very strong impact on the illusion that you plan to create of spaciousness. You can opt for one main light source or several other lights to back up your initial agenda of having abundant light in the room to make it appear bigger.
Ensure that your decorative elements and furniture do not block the light.
5- Mirror element
This is the element that can uplift the illusion game. Mirrors are a must if you want the room to look big. The best idea is to place the mirror opposite of the light source as it will optimize by giving a bouncing effect. Mirrors can make a room feel larger by reflecting light and creating the illusion of depth. Hang a large mirror on one of the walls or create a mirror wall to give the room a more expansive feel.
6- Perfect fabric
Don’t forget to select the perfect kind of fabric for your room to appear spacious. The material of the fabric is very important as if it’s dark then it will absorb the light making it appear dull and small. If the fabric is lightweight and in bright color it will let the air and light pass through it making the room give a spacious feel.
7- Large pieces instead of small
Opt for large decorative items instead of small ones. Also, go for less quantity as this will ensure that the room is artistically and minimally decorated. Too many decorative pieces will make it cluttered causing a certain feeling of claustrophobia.
The room will appear spacious if there are lesser decorative items and all the other items in the room are also multi-purposed ones.
Wrapping Up Make Your Room Look Bigger
It is not tough to make a room appear spacious and bigger. It’s an illusion game. You need to work on the above-mentioned tips to achieve this milestone on your own. Once done, you will be happy with what you have achieved on your own and it will be a bliss to spend time in your room.
