With all this available time at home, you notice some parts of your home that could use a few improvements. Though it’s not always easy, starting with broader goals and getting more specific as you proceed is a great way to get things started. These are some tips on how to make your home feel more spacious overall.
Brighten Up the Room
If you have darker tones in your room, they likely make the space feel cramped, especially when paired with shadows from your lights at night. By using lighter colors on your walls, like white or beige, you evenly reflect light throughout the room and help balance out any dark corners that would normally show.
Let More Light In
Having easy-to-adjust curtains or unique french door entrances to add more light and style to your home plays a big role. Think of a bright spring evening with light shining into your home. As you look around the lightly colored walls, they almost seem to blend in with the cool sky outside your windows.
With an open plan like this, your room feels free and naturally welcomes those who walk into the sun-kissed area. Of course, no one wants that kind of openness at night, and making sure your curtains and blinds are easy to adjust is an important aspect to keep in mind when designing your home areas.
Declutter the Area
The most important aspect of creating a spacious home is making it easy to maneuver around things. The less clutter that you need to meander through on a daily basis, the better. This doesn’t mean that you have to remove the things that you love, but a little bit of reorganization tends to go a long way.
Implementing some shelves or hidden storage areas helps keep any trinkets or necessities away from the center of the room. Furniture can become a part of the clutter as well. Assuming you have a little space to spare, don’t be afraid to move your furniture more toward the center of your room. This creates additional avenues to walk by while making the communal space a cozy nook.
As you think about how to make your home feel more spacious, a lot of it comes from your preference and the location of objects. By implementing a few of these methods, your home will feel like a more open place where you can stretch and relax without feeling cramped.
