We've all been spending a lot of time in our homes. Do you guys feel like the walls are getting
smaller and smaller? I know I do. Stay tuned to this video and we're going to
give you 10 easy tips to help make that room feel a little bit bigger.
So you need about five sources of light in any given space and you need it at varying heights.
This will disperse the light throughout the space helping you to see more of the wall
more of the floor which will make the room appear bigger.
The next tip is float your furniture. This is going to pull everything to the middle of the room
allowing room to move around the space. This is also going to make
it feel a little bit more cozy and less cluttered.
Our next tip is to hang your curtains as close to the ceiling as possible.
Don't be afraid to take that bracket and go all the way to the top. Nobody wants high water
draperies it looks disjointed and it starts a new line of sight and it doesn't complete it. And then
of course you want to go all the way to the floor. You can kiss the floor with the drapery. Puddling
is probably something we are not doing as much anymore but it does need to go floor to ceiling.
Another way to make your room feel a little bit bigger is a new paint job. It's going to help
bounce the light around the space this is going to make your room feel really open fresh and new.
Something like a light white or even a light gray would be perfect.
Our next tip is to utilize accessories with the most important one being mirrors. Mirrors are
your friend you can use a mirror to balance the light in the space to add an additional
window which of course will make the room appear bigger and also to add symmetry to the space.
Another easy way to make your room feel bigger is to mount your tv on the wall. This can either
be over your fireplace or on a wall with a smaller console underneath. Getting rid
of your big heavy TV armoire can help make your room feel bigger lighter and brighter.
Our next tip is small scale furniture. Most the time people struggle with scale. So you
want to make sure that you do a floor plan so you know what's going to fit the space
accurately and then take advantage of small-scale furniture like
the Kennedy apartment size sofas and sectionals that will fit the
space correctly that can be customized to make sure that everything works correctly.
Focal point is another great way to make your room feel just a little bit bigger. This would be
facing your furniture towards whatever this focal point is. That could be your fireplace a view out
of one of your windows or painting an accent wall and focusing your furniture towards that.
Our next step is to invest in primary and multifunctional pieces. This is where you're
able to choose an ottoman versus a coffee table because now the ottoman can serve as
seating it can serve as a table and it also can be something that you put your feet on.
And you also want to use nesting tables that will extend so that you can do tasks
you can eat again multi-functional furniture will make your space appear bigger.
Our last and final tip is keep it simple. Make sure that the pieces
in your room are serving some sort of a purpose. They're not overly overly big
or they're just there because they're there. Make sure that everything that you have in that room
is necessary this also can go into your fabric choices. Picking a large wild pattern may make
the room seem a little bit smaller. Choose something light bright and airy that will
help keep the room big. We hope that these 10 tips have been really helpful. If you like them
