Not all of us have the luxury of living in expansive homes with spacious rooms to decorate. Many of my clients wish their rooms had an extra square metre or so. Unfortunately we can’t always knock down walls and create bigger rooms.
But we can dig into our box of tricks and make the rooms appear bigger.
Now we all know mirrors help as well as light walls. But making every square centimetre count is the most important. And don’t just think about the floors pace. There is lots of room on the vertical plane that can be utilised as well.
In the bedroom, build storage units including wardrobes and display space around the bed. Use pendant lights which hang from the ceiling and small bedside tables or shelves instead of wide, bulky bedside tables and lamps.
In the living room, use a coffee table with stools or ottomans underneath to provide extra seating when needed. Or use two small tables that can be placed together for one larger table or separated and drawn up to the sofa for individual side tables.
Cabinetry can be taken all the way to the ceiling which will assist with creating height plus providing much needed storage.
But don’t think small space small pieces. Oversized items can trick the eye into thinking the space is actually much larger than it is.
These images along with more ideas and inspiration can be found on my Pinterest board, When Space is At A Premium.
