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:
- Eliminate unnecessary furniture that just takes up space.
- Arrange furniture against the wall to provide more floor space and to have one room flow into the next.
- Use multifunctional furniture that can serve more than purpose. For example, an ottoman that can also be used as a table.
- 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.
- Use coordinating colors to blend the furniture, walls, and accents together.
- When it comes to creating more space in a room, brighter is better. A great lighting scheme can transform a room.
- Position mirrors to reflect all the light in the room and to give the illusion of more space.
- Hang light curtains, instead of heavy drapes, on windows to accentuate the open, airy feel.
- Especially when positioned around a doorway, bookshelves can make the most of empty wall space.
- Use storage options that double as displays, like a curio cabinet or eye-catching containers.
