Tips On Making A Room Seem Bigger

With so many of us spending a lot more time at home right now, it is inevitable that some homeowners will recognise flaws or issues with their property. When you are cooped up inside, things you previously loved may start to grate on you. Also, there is a very good chance you will start to think your home is too small for your needs.

At Harpers Estates, we are pleased to say we have helped many homeowners present their home in a way that makes rooms seem bigger. If you cannot add space to a property, you should look to create a sense of space. There are a number of ways you can make rooms seem bigger, and we are more than happy to offer you tips on this process.

Light colours help to make a room feel more spacious

The colour of your room can affect your mood, and this also plays into how you feel about a room. Many people feel light colours help to make a room seem bigger and brighter. When you have lighter walls, they are more reflective. This creates an environment which is open and airy, which is a great way to maximise any benefit you receive from natural light flooding into the room.

By way of contrast, if you use dark colours, light tends to be absorbed, and this can make a room appear smaller.

A tip is to select soft tones and painting wall trims in an even lighter shade. This helps to make walls appear further back, creating a sense of space in the room.

Lighting shapes the way people feel about a room

Natural light is always welcome, and you should take steps to ensure as much natural light enters your property. Make sure nothing blocks light entering your window, and even check if there is anything outside your home that hampers light coming in.

Also, you should consider how lighting fixtures impact your home. Creative covers and placing smaller lights around the room can brighten the mood and atmosphere of your home.

Some other quick tips you should consider when looking to make your room seem larger than it is include:

·         Decluttering a room is always a great way to make the space seem larger

·         Well-placed mirrors are highly effective at making a room seem bigger

·         Rearrange your furniture to create more space around the room

No matter how much space you have at home, there are always ways you can make a room seem brighter and more welcoming. Following one, some or all these tips will have a big impact on how you feel at home.
