Feeling claustrophobic? Making slight changes to the decor and layout of your rooms can do a lot to open up the space and create a more comfortable and functional atmosphere. To accomplish this, try these tactics: 1. Surround your couch with space. Setting this larger piece a few inches away from the walls and other furniture helps eliminate the impression that everything is crammed together in order to fit in the room. 2. Balance light in the room. Light is one of the most important elements in making a space seem larger than it is. Evenly distribute it to every corner to shine a light on hidden space. 3. Utilize curtains. Hanging window treatments from the ceiling down to the floor will make the ceiling seem higher. |
