4 Great Tips To Make Your Rooms Feel Larger

Do you want to make your home larger but do not have the resources to tear down walls and build additions? A simple solution is to visually increase the square footage of your home to make your rooms feel spacious and bright. Handyman Connection of Novi talks about a few ways you can do that:

• Use Over-The-Door Storage – One of the best ways to make a room feel larger is to remove a large amount of clutter. You can do this by disposing of and donating items you do not need and by using smart storage solutions. Try using over-the-door hooks to store shoes, accessories, bags, and other items to eliminate floor and counter clutter in a room.

• Install Mirrors – Reflective surfaces are key to making a room look and feel larger. For example, placing a large floor or tabletop mirror opposite a window can instantly expand the scope of your room. Before using a mirror, however, you need to ensure that the mirror reflects a clear and open space. You do not want a mirror to reflect clutter because this will make a room look messy.

• Use Light Paint Colors For A Room – Light paint colors make a room feel larger because they reflect light. This makes it look as if the walls are expansive. Open up your rooms by using creams, yellows, greys, and whites. It will also help if you use furniture and decor that complements this light color scheme.

• Use Floor-To-Ceiling Shelves – This is another great way to clear floor clutter and make use of your wall space. A top-to-bottom shelf works particularly well in kitchens, living rooms, and bedrooms. In addition, a floor-to-ceiling shelf draws the eye upward, so it makes your ceilings appear higher.
