There’s something to be said about smaller homes. They are incredibly convenient and easy to look after. However, there’s nothing like the appeal of a huge home when it comes to interior decoration. Not only is a big home visually appealing, but it’s easier to fit your life into.
The more of a confined space that you live in, the more that you have to carefully plan out where you’ll place each item. If there are several people living in your home, it’s only a matter of time until you all start to feel like sardines in a can.
However, living in a small home doesn’t have to feel like you’re living in a small home. Sometimes it comes down to some key decor tips that will create a more comfortable living situation for everyone in your home.
Take a look at some of the best ways to make your home bigger, even if it’s not.
Opt For Big Windows
Big windows make space open up significantly. Not only do large windows make your home look bigger since you can see the world around you outside, but it also allows more light to enter the home.
The more light that comes into the home, the more spacious it will feel. Don’t be afraid to open your shades and let the light stream in. Opting for natural light over artificial light will always give your home a bigger feel.
Go For Light Colors
Just like natural light can make your home feel bigger, so can lighter colors. Using a light color palette throughout your home will give the illusion of more space. Light reflects off of light, so the more light colors you have throughout your home, the more that the light colors will each compliment each other.
Use Mirrors
Using mirrors in a space to create the illusion of more square footage is an interior designer’s best-kept secret. Mirrors can create the illusion of a home is double its size.
There’s no rule to how many mirrors you can use in a room. The more, the better when it comes to increasing the size of your home. Reflections are all about expanding and hinting that your home has a larger surface.
Hang Artwork
A lot of people might be under the impression that blank walls will make your home seem more spacious. However, the artwork is never a bad thing, regardless of the size of your house. If you have some wall room to add a splash of art, don’t hesitate.
Art compliments your home and can actually make it feel bigger. If you’re not sure what kind of art to choose, go with something that fits the color palette of each room.
By following these tips and staying true to your design style, you’ll have a fabulous small living space in no time.
