How To Make A Small Home Look Spacious?

Whether you have a flat with small proportions or a small house that is as large as a bachelor ad, there are many ways to manipulate the perception of space. From selecting a suitable color palette to choosing appropriate contemporary furniture, the following ideas will help you transform your home from looking small to spacious:

Choose an All-White Scheme:

This is one of the easiest and oldest tricks in a designer’s bag of tricks. You can also opt for an all-white exterior on all modern furniture pieces and even on floors. If everything white is not suitable to your taste, consider introducing subtle yet complementary shades via accessories and accents such as a leather club chair or ottoman.

Install Flexible Furniture:

Flexible furniture or furniture that performs the double duty is a small home’s best friend. For example, opt for a media cabinet with a fold-down desk. It can be used as a place to stash your Blu-Rays, CDs and gaming devices as well a desk to work at your laptop. A dining bench is great as extra seating in front of your dining table or in your living room. It can also be used as storage by lifting up the seat.

Go Clear:

If your budget doesn’t allow for bespoke furniture, consider glass furniture pieces. You can opt many glass furniture items such as a console, center table, glass shelving and dining table. Since glass is see-through, it is effective in creating the illusion of space.

Take advantage of vertical space:

Freeing up floor space is critical in a small space home. This is when you have to take advantage of your wall space. Fun ways of doing this are opting for wall-mounted shelves, wall lamps, and shadow shelves. Such items naturally draw the eye upwards giving the impression of a tall and spacious room. Even a sofa or char with long, spindly legs is an excellent option.

Embrace mirrors:

Mirrors are an underestimated and underutilized accessory. These small wonders are magical when it comes to creating the illusion of space. In a small room, a few wall mirrors can do wonders. Apart from their ability to reflect light, mirrors are capable of maximizing light, creating the illusion of space.

Making a small home look spacious requires a few special tricks with paint, furniture and accessories and voila, you’ve got lots of space (or at least the illusion of it).
