Here are 7 tricks of the trade

1. Using mirrors to cover the entire length of walls has a dramatic effect of making the room look so much bigger and spacious. Mirrors have the ability to create the illusion of space. Instead of seeing the wall your mind is tricked into believing the space of the room is twice as big.



2. In the living room, try to put low sideboards or cabinets instead of tall shelves or cabinets. Cabinets or sideboards with height lower than your study desk and dining table instantly makes your room look so much bigger and neater.



3. Another way of creating the impression of large spaces is to have light colour or white flooring . You should also use light colour or warm colours such as yellow or orange for your walls. Here is how you can use color to make a room look larger.



4. To extrapolate on the earlier point, floors of different areas such as living room and porch with different materials and purpose should have similar themed light colours to create a stronger visual impression of enlarged spaces.



5. If the space outside a particular wall consists of a balcony view or a garden view, consider knocking down part of the wall to construct a window. A window with a exterior beautiful view automatically makes an impact and makes the room feel so much bigger.



6. You can also opt for space saving furniture and appliances. A sofa bed serves the dual purpose of being a couch and a bed and thereby saving space for a bed. A washing machine with a dryer feature also makes it unnecessary to buy a dryer which would take up more space.



7. If you are short of space for sleeping you can exploit your living room for flexible space by erecting a folding screen or installing ceiling mounted curtain to create flexible space.

Answer 2

Arrange the furniture to create an open space plan. Have a feature wall to attract your visual attention away from the confines of the space This will give the impression of spatial freedom. If the budget permits, experiment with your lighting scheme to create a light pelmut to 'wash' the ceiling. This gives the expression of 'lightness'.. controlled lighting is key to creating space. Use colors towards the white spectrum with a hint of colors such as blues or greens.. dont use stark white as this will cause the room to be too 'cold'.. soften with plants and mood lighting

Answer 3

Knock two end walls down. Seriously how about mirrors at each end of the room, or large murals of outdoor scenes, light colours help also, don't over fill with furniture. Light floor coverings would also maybe help. (ps. why does my spell-check tell me to spell colours as colors???) Hope that helps a bit.
