(NC)—After months of being cooped up, a lot
of homeowners are beginning to feel their
indoor living space is too small. Moving to a
larger home is one answer, but for most
Canadians, a change of that kind is simply not
an option. There are, however, a number of
solutions to make a room, or an entire home,
look and feel more spacious, experts say.
“When renovating or building a home, or putting
on an addition, a great way to create more
physical space is to install radiant heat instead
of a traditional forced air heating system,” says
John Goshulak, heating ambassador for
Beautiful Heat. “Radiant heating uses a ductless
design without the need for fans, blowers
or vents in the floors. As a result, room layouts
aren't limited by vents or registers, and in the
basement, bulky ductwork can be completely
eliminated.”
Nothing improves the
look of your home quite
like the classic beauty
of a hardwood floor

For homeowners who are feeling cramped and
confined, the following design tricks can help
make a living space feel more spacious:
• Use light colour paint on the walls to make the
room feel airy.
• Move large sized furniture against the walls
and select pieces that can have several
functions, such as a trunk that can serve as
storage and a coffee table.
• Let the light flow in. Use sheer window
coverings or better yet, pull them back
completely to make the maximum use of
natural light. If natural light isn't available use
a lamp as a focus point.

• Tidy up and move unwanted clutter out to
keep the floor space clear.
