My husband and I want to remodel our smaller home. It is an older home, probably one of the first few to be built in our town. I know that mirrors and lighter colors of paint are good for making a space feel bigger. Any other suggestions? Thanks.

Big windows, lots of natural light, mirrors. spare furniture, area rugs, not wall-to-wall.

the perfect tip i visit grant you with is to be particular that each and every room "flows" properly. the region of fixtures may have a huge result on how huge (or small) a room feels to the guy occupying it. the volume one thanks to attain that is to be particular you've sparkling, sparkling pathways from one fringe of a room to a special. Watch a number of your sought after videos and tv shows to work out how the designers set up each and every room. (that is remarkable to do once you've a TiVo, because you could freeze body and sluggish-action throughout your television observing.) the in elementary words different suggestion I truly have is to be particular your homestead is as muddle-free as humanly accessible. the first challenge I continually observe even as i bypass to a persons' homestead isn't any matter if or not they're ate up through muddle. It truly does make a huge distinction in how open a house feels. also, be particular your many bookshelves are not over-crammed. this can make a room regarded cluttered and messy. good luck!

Keep curtains simple and non frilly, use plain voile where possible.
Keep Shelves free of clutter and have the bare minimum of furniture. The less you have in a room the bigger it will feel bigger.
Have the same flooring throughout and when painting use one colour, just change the tone. Have fun Decorating

We had room to build a detached garage and a shed.
The biggest factor is clutter removal.
We have a 900SF foot print on the house, we are taking the existing attached garage and converting it to a family room opened to the kitchen. Lot of swearing, sweat and sleepless nights.
My wife is a pack rat so trying to eliminate clutter is a bit like pushing a boulder uphill.

Big Windows that provide lots of light and replace overstuffed sofas with smaller ones
