While having a home is considered a huge luxury and a great accomplishment, we are constantly having our own battles with space. We aren’t sure on how we can maximize our space and create an ambiance which is welcoming and spacious. How can you use your space to its maximum potential? Can you make any home transform into a picture for a magazine cover? All these questions have lead us this article, where you can find out how your space can be turned from a drag into a fantasy.
1. Use The Right Colors
Personally, I recall, the first time I moved into my own apartment; I had a pretty small loft where I had to incorporate my bedroom , dressing, dining and office together. I cracked my head and got myself in a rut trying to figure out how to maximize my space. Stumbling upon a magazine I realized the one way to make my tiny loft seem like a huge mansion is to choose the right colors to accentuate my space. Off white tones, light green, soft blue and yellow have proven to create wonders in a small space. Painting my loft with off-white tones and shading the trimming in an even lighter color, made my space look larger then it supposed to. This gave me the motivation to get up in the morning and continue on working, as well as enjoy a good night sleep. Space well maximized is a place that creates productivity as well as peace.
2. Choose The Right Type Of Doors
We have all seen English movies where the doors are embroidered with amazing architecture as well as made with the finest wood. From Japanese traditions all the way to European heritage, history has exhibited their power and growth through their design and architecture. Doors have played a crucial part in that too. One of the great hacks that I’ve found out is to incorporate Bi-folding doors in one’s living space. Bi-folding doors are doors that have either two folds or a singular fold. These doors extend when needed and you can easily extend the spaces in your house due to the fact that you aren’t building an extra wall to accommodate a door. Unlike the French doors or the Patio doors, the bi-fold doors consume less space as well as come with an exquisite and intricate design. On the other hand in this modern world, a multi-purpose home is something to be proud of. If you’re able to extend your space from a small office to a party venue, then you can definitely impress your friends.
3. Make Use Of The Mirror Elements
If you grew up in an Asian household, you would find mirrors in various corners of the house. It’s used to ward off evil and it’s sometimes used to attract good luck. Hence if you walked into any Asian house you will feel this odd sense of spaciousness and calmness. It’s accentuated by the brightness of their home and the warmth of their color palettes. How do mirrors create an illusion of space? The reflecting properties of mirrors don’t only reflect what’s in front of you but also reflect the space hence extending it to twice the actual space. Mirrors also reflect light and these elements together create a cohesive yet elegant space for you to function. A bright and spacious place doesn’t only give you the comfort of a new home but also keeps your mind healthy and your life productive.
4. Choose The Right Type of Windows
No home is complete without the right type of windows. Windows create the illusion of space as it allows natural light in. Sunlight usually gives a home the ambiance of warmth and comfort. Therefore a home with no windows creates chaos and negativity. Usually, homes with larger windows create a wider space area, however, depending on the rooms the windows should be catered to them. Bedrooms should have a wider window to allow the maximum amount of sunlight to penetrate the room, giving you the boost you need to wake up. In the living room, vertical windows help create a welcome and homely room. How you arrange the windows is up to you, however, consulting an interior designer would help you navigate through designing your home.
In Conclusion.
Any space can be made spacious with the right tools. Find out what your home needs and gets to it.
