10 Ways to Create More Space in the Main Living Areas

1 Comment Written by Becky

There are plenty of easy ways to add space without remodeling your entire home. This four-part series zeroes in on specific ideas that open up your home’s interior.

Looking to enlargen your dining, living, and family rooms? Consider these ideas:  

  1. Eliminate unnecessary furniture that just takes up space.
  2. Arrange furniture against the wall to provide more floor space and to have one room flow into the next.
  3. Use multifunctional furniture that can serve more than purpose. For example, an ottoman that can also be used as a table.
  4. Neutral paint opens up a room, but it doesn’t have to be white. Consider an off-white or light gray shade to spruce up the space.
  5. Use coordinating colors to blend the furniture, walls, and accents together.
  6. When it comes to creating more space in a room, brighter is better. A great lighting scheme can transform a room.
  7. Position mirrors to reflect all the light in the room and to give the illusion of more space.
  8. Hang light curtains, instead of heavy drapes, on windows to accentuate the open, airy feel.
  9. Especially when positioned around a doorway, bookshelves can make the most of empty wall space.
  10. Use storage options that double as displays, like a curio cabinet or eye-catching containers.
