Tips to make your home look spacious

A small home has its own charms, but it also presents some challenges. With less space you may at times find decorating your house a bit difficult. Too much furniture or decoration items will give your home a congested look. Though several developers like Vinod Goenka of The Dynamix Group are constructing homes that are elegant and spacious, but you can follow these ways to make your home appear much bigger.

 

Wall-to-wall shelves and bookcases

 

A wall-to-wall shelf will not only provide elegance to the room but will also give you extra storage space. You can place decorations, books or other products on the shelves which will help you free a lot of space.

 

Neutral colours

 

You should always use neutral colours if your home is small. Paint the walls with colours like beige, white and grey. These colours are simple and give the illusion of a spacious home.

 

Artwork

 

Make the walls look more artistic by using artwork. But remember to place art at the appropriate places. Apart from giving a classy touch to your home, artwork will also make it look bigger.

 

Leave space between the furniture and the walls

 

Most of the people put place in such a way that it touches the wall. This gives a cramped look to the home. To make it roomier, leave a little space between the furniture and the walls. Also purchase furniture that that is sleek. Heavy furniture will take a lot of space and will give your room a congested feel.

 

Mirrors

 

Mirrors are an essential part of every house. But they are a must-have accessory for smaller homes. Since mirrors can effectively bounce light, they give an illusion that the home is bigger. They add brightness to the room by reflecting light. But it is important to place mirror at the right places such as near the windows, at certain places on the walls, etc.

 

Furniture

 

Try to maximise space by purchasing multi-functional furniture. A bed with storage extensions underneath it will provide you with enough storage space. Similarly, you can use the chest as a side table or coffee table. Folding tables are a great way to save space. Also purchase furniture that comfortably fits into the room. Furniture that will block the walkways will not only make it difficult for you to walk around in the room but will make it look cramped.

 

Whether a home is big or small you can give it a spacious look by keeping it tidy. It’s also important to purchase the right furniture and to paint the walls with colours that will make the home appear bigger. Developers like Jayvardhan Goenka of The Dynamix Group offer homes that are spacious and comprise the best of amenities. The Dynamix Group is building state-of-the-art housing projects in Mumbai and other parts of the country.
