How to Make Your Room Look Bigger

What can you do to make your home feel bigger?  A number of things can be done to make rooms more appealing and appear larger. Light and color are very important in assuring that your homes are sanctuaries intended for fun and comfort for your whole family. If you are a homeowner and you want your house to look larger, the following are some important things to do:

1. The natural light that the sun gives you can be your best friend. Make the most of the light it gives off. Do not use dark and thick curtains that can block the natural light from coming in. Open up your windows and get rid of any long window hangings. By letting the sunlight come into your room, you will have the comfort of a bright space.
2. The law of physics can also be applied in this area. Light color reflects more light than dark colors. Have light colors painted on your walls. Decorate your room with icy blues, cool creams and pastel colors. Avoid using blacks, browns and the like. The brighter the room, the bigger it will look like. The trick is just balancing the elements of light and color.
3. You will want to pay attention to existing lighting. To deal with dark shadows, especially at night, install up-lights, tracked lighting or recessed lights. Shadows can make your room look and feel smaller. These lights are also attractive for the room.  Furthermore, up-lights bounce light off the ceiling which can light up a room.
4. The most common technique to make your room look bigger is through the use of mirrors. Mirrors will reflect both natural and artificial light and can even add light to your room at night. Consider placing mirrors close to a window so that it will reflect light from outside during the day.
5. Skylights or cupolas can also add light your home. They will also be a good investment for the future of your house. They can open up a room to make it bright and the case of a cupola, also allow fresh air to enter the home.
