Space may be the final frontier but if you are talking about in respect to your home, it is a very handy thing to have. This is why you should look to maximise the amount of space you have at home, no matter the size of your property or how many rooms you have. Given that the amount of space can impact on your happiness and the value of your property, there is a great deal to be said for doing more with your space and this is why the National Association of Estate Agents has a number of tips to follow with regards to creating more space at home.
At Spencer Harvey, we are pleased to say that we are NAEA members and we agreed that space is vital for your property. If you are looking to make the most of your home, follow these tips to create more space.
Mirrors create the sense of space
Adding a mirror or two is a fantastic way to create the sense of space without actually adding a space. Placing a mirror in a hallway is a tremendous way to reflect light and colour which plays a big role in how we perceive space. If you are keen for a room to look wider or longer than it is, adding a mirror is a smart move.
You want to give some serious thought to the furniture you use at home. If you use furniture that is too large for the available space, your room can seem to shrink right in front of your eyes. As an example, if you have limited space in your dining room, a large dining table that dominates the room will make the room seem as though it is very small. Another great tip to create more space at home is to declutter your property as much as possible and make sure that you utilise storage solutions as best as you can.
When it comes to decorating, using neutral colours for your walls is an effective way of making your home feel bigger. Another simple tip to make your property seem more spacious is to use the same style of flooring in different rooms. This helps to create a sense of flow from one room to the next, and like your walls, try and avoid bright colours or distracting shapes and patterns on your floor.
The amount of space you have at home impacts on so many aspects, including your happiness, so make sure you take steps to create more space at home.
