Use of lighter and softer colours
for small rooms
Depending on the type of the colour
you use, your room will either appear
larger or smaller. Light colours are
known to make your room look
larger. In that case, you can paint
smaller rooms in lighter and softer
colours to achieve that feeling of a
larger space. In fact, darker walls
when painted in light colours will
help reflect natural light making the
room a little brighter. Whichever the
case, you can settle for brighter
and softer colours to create
an impression of space in your
small rooms.
Mix and match
Placing an antique table next to
your modern couch is an example
of mixing style periods. The same
can apply to fabrics and rugs, old
and new paints as well as various
kinds of furniture. It’s a great idea to
try out different designs. Provincial,
Parisian and French royal furniture
styles blend well with the current
designs in order to balance the past
and the present.
Create the illusion of space with
decorative mirrors
Mirrors in your room, regardless
of its size, will make the room
look bigger and also increases the
amount of natural light. The optical
illusion created by the mirror is the
main factor to consider when trying
to achieve that look. Mirrors can
be placed strategically across the
windows, or alternatively, you may
use mirrors in an artistic way to fill
blank wall spaces and also to add
dimensions to your room.
Ornamental plants to liven up
the room
Apart from bringing life into
your room, plants also create
microclimates in your house. Who
doesn’t need some fresh air to
breathe? You can decorate your
room with plants by placing them
on specific shelves. Besides, the
inclusion of plants in your room adds
colour and texture to accessorise
the space and create interest in
bare and disused corners.
