Let There Be Space!

Stripes

Just as with clothes, vertical stripes on rugs or carpets will give the illusion that a space is elongated. Stripes that are orientated to follow the length of the room will give the optimal effect.

Breaking up the space

Using rugs to break up a room is another good way of making a space seem larger. This trick creates the illusion of multiple areas, making it feel as if there is more space. This is particularly useful in studio apartments. Why not take a look at Roger Oates rugs and runner designs, perfect for adding class and style to any room?

Use light colours

While dark colours can make a room feel cosier, they absorb light and prevent it from reflecting off surfaces. This reflection is what can make a room feel bigger rather than cramped. Opt for lighter coloured floors and walls to make the room feel more spacious. We particularly love Cormar Carpets Wool Twist range.

Get the paint

Give your ceiling a bit of love with a lick of paint or some fresh wallpaper. Not only does this have the potential to brighten up the room, but also it will draw attention upwards making the space feel larger

Less is more

When dealing with smaller spaces, we sometimes fall into the trap of buying smaller furniture and decorations to make the most of the space. However, by filling the space with lots of little things only exacerbates this feeling of clutter. Instead go for fewer furnishings that are large and bold.
