We all know how difficult it is making a tiny space look spacious, especially when you’re living in a big city. With the development of infrastructure, the price of the houses have eventually risen and gone beyond the affording power of many. Having a spacious home is next to impossible.
However, you can still create an illusion to make your tiny house look big without cutting down any of the essentials. You can still have that landscape view, curtain frills, arm chairs and sofa sets. Want to know how? Check out these quick and amazing hacks to make your house look big.
Implant Multi-Utility Items
Figure out the things that take a major amount of space of your house and start replacing them. Reorganize your kitchen and put all kind of multi-utility items. For example, instead of shelves, you can use cabinets with partitions. Cabinets can store many things such as food processors, air tight containers, ovens etc.
They would do double the amount of work as compared to a shelf, while not taking much space. Similarly, you can use convertible sofa sets and beds in your living room and bedroom. Likewise, you can also choose a dining table which can get adjusted and has a detachable top to make the most of what you have. Additionally, you can also revamp your old sofa and make it a funky one. Likewise, you can do for other furniture sets also.
Create An Illusion For The Ceiling Height
Go for the things which don’t have horizontally big but vertically small. Keeping a low-slung sofa, large mirrors and curtains that reach the floor length would suffice the requirement. Additionally, you can also paint the windows according to the exteriors of your house or according to the walls of the room.
Try including the furniture pieces which occupy the maximum square foot. Doing this will help you execute the illusion in the best possible way.
Make The Most Of Every Corner
Since your house is not so spacious, make the most of every corner. Include alcove shelves in every corner of the house. They look very attractive and the same time would be helpful in storing the maximum amount of extra stuff.
You can paint them using oil paints and can decorate them using flower vases, jute baskets, a marble-filled bowl, a couple of books and so on. All this will add a little class to your house making it look like larger than life.
Colors And Textures
Color and textures would brighten up your room. So add lots of colors but don’t go overboard. Choose your color palette wisely. Try including primary colors such as royal blue, pale yellow, vanilla and right red color. Also, make sure that these colors are versatile in nature and can be added with other colors to form different colors.
Just like colors, textures also play a significant role. A faux leather sofa, silk cushions, shiny lamps, all these add texture creating an illusion of your house having a rich and sophisticated atmosphere.
Be Friends With Shower Curtains
Many people part their washrooms with their bathing rooms which in turn takes a lot of space. For that extra privacy, they put glass doors which are very expensive. To reduce the cost, try using shower curtains instead of glass doors.
They provide the maximum opacity and are very budget friendly. Moreover, you don’t need to squeegee them every time you take a shower.
Get Inspired From Magazines
Magazines and design websites contain an infinite number of creative images and tutorials that can make you awestruck. Watch some of the tutorials and cut your favorite images. Put them together to create a masterpiece.
Adding Skylights
Skylights are amazing as they bring the maximum amount of sunlight in a gloomy room. They are also inexpensive as compared to other bulbs and tube lights. A bunch of skylights would cost you around £250.
Create Your Own Rug
If you’re skeptical about rugs and carpets, then you can always create one. Collect all the unwanted clothes and stitch them. Who knows, you may end up getting a designer style of carpet. Additionally, you can also get designs to create one from the internet. Also, it would be very cheap.
Add Eye Appealing Kitchen Tiles
By putting kitchen tiles which are laminated, you add to the beauty of it. You can also club the tiles with a marble worktop. A customized worktop would cost you around £808.50 and installation charges would be around £110.
Furniture Placement
Don’t put the furniture against the walls. Sometimes placing a piece of furniture at a particular angle or in an open space would make the room look big. In the smaller places, use stripes to lengthen the space(or rather create a look in that way).
Glass And Lucite Items
Using glass and Lucite pieces are in style now and can also be multi-purpose without taking much of the space.
Break The Rules
Just because it is a living room, it doesn’t mean you need to put a sofa set, a coffee table or a television. Sometimes, going out of the box creates a lot of drama. Put a swing or a rocking chair or may be put both. Be more open to experimenting and exploring your thoughts to get the best outcome.
It’s not always necessary to have a big house to make it look spacious and lavish. Sometimes, even the smallest houses can create an illusion of being big and luxurious. Extraordinary things are done by thinking out of the box and working in that tangent. If you want to give a designer look to your house, you can DIY. All you need is a little effort and willpower to make it work. So, go ahead make your house one of its kind. After all, a house should always portray the people who’re living in it.
