Make it feel biggerMost people want a bigger house but how can you make the house you already have feel larger? We call this the ‘sense of space’. How big or spacious a room feels is not always about how physically large it is, and there are many factors that can influence this.One of the easiest ways to make a home feel instantly larger is simply to reduce clutter. An abundance of physical items, such as too much furniture, and too many ornaments, books and accessories, can make a space feel much smaller than it really is.
Why do you think this room works?The scale of the furniture matches the dimensions of the room; for example, the winged bedhead is 1.6 metres high, which perfectly accentuates the high ceilings. There’s a commitment to colour to offset the white walls, such as the oversized turquoise lamps and the chest of drawers painted in Dulux ‘Antarctic Lake Half’. The colours are light, the bed is luxurious, and the room easily serves as a peaceful getaway, with a touch of Hamptons.Tell usWhat do you love about this room? Tell us in the Comments below.
