Who doesn’t like a big open space that feels airy and in a way contributes in maintaining a pleasant and positive environment? With urban spaces getting cramped, due to factors like increase in population and internal migration, it is not always possible to get a home/apartment with room size of your choice.
One of the many factors taken into consideration at Trimurty is provide adequate space to the occupants. But for those of you how are stuck in small apartments or want to create an illusion of greater space, here’s what you can do –
1. Ceiling Revision
Paint the ceiling or give it beautiful wallpaper coverage. The trick here is to draw attention upward, as it will create the illusion of a bigger room.
2. Say no to Wall Stuck Furniture
Leave some gap between the furniture pieces and wall. Pushing everything up against the wall makes the room look small and cramped. Even few inches gap can make the space/room look more open.
3. Hang Shelves
Remember point one, here also our motto is to drag the attention upward. Hanging shelves near the ceiling will not only make the room look bigger, but you’ll also have an added storage space.
4. Light Colors are Right
Using light colors on wall and floor will help you, creating an illusion of space. Such colour tones reflect light rather than absorbing them, as in the case of darker tones.
5. Use Stripes
Like in fashion, vertical stripes in home decor also help room look taller. One can opt for vertical striped rug and place it along with the longest length of the room.
6. Avoid Small Decor Items
Instead of cluttering the room with many small decorative accents, go for few big ones.
7. Use Multiple Rugs
This trick woks pretty well in studio apartments, it helps creating illusion of small spaces in one large room.
8. Furniture with Exposed Legs
Despite going for furniture or sofa with boxy chairs opt for the ones with exposed legs. It make your small space bigger and create airiness.
9. Use Mirror to Create Space
Strategic placement of mirror can make a small room look bigger. For example, placing one across the window will not only create an illusion of space but it will also reflect more light into the room.
10. Small Lamps
Go for small lamps around the room, as it will spread the light and draw light around the room.
