How do you make a narrow space look wider? If not, maybe, we can do tricks after this. Remember that with visual tricks we can create any impression as needed.
1. Bright Color for Walls
You must have heard or read very often about how the bright colors of the paint house make a small room or house seem more spacious and spacious. This classic way works effectively. The architectural and interior design experts recommend white paint and other bright colors to be applied to a small room or house.
With bright colors, a small house will feel spacious, fresh and bright. Applying dark colored paint to the room will make the small house look more comfortable, but make the small house smaller. Instead of reflecting light, dark paint colors instead absorb the incoming lighting source, as a result the house looks bleak.
2. Don't Put Furniture Conjoining the Wall
It has become a habit for most people in arranging furniture, shifting furniture to the walls of houses has been trusted as a method to provide space for small houses. This perception is not entirely true. If you have a sofa in a small living room, slide the sofa a little from the wall, give it a gap to breathe, so that when there is light, a shadow will emerge from the sofa. The shadow creates the illusion of perception of a larger room in a small house.
3. Take advantage of the Mirror on the Wall
If you visit a restaurant or shopping shop with a narrow room, pay attention to the surrounding walls of the room. The shop owner pairs the mirror around the room to create the impression of a large room. This mirror trick can also be applied to small homes.
In a fairly narrow room, hang several medium-sized mirrors next to each other. Create a mirror frame into a uniform color to beautify the room decor, to give the impression of a room that is wider than the original.
4. Multifunctional Furniture as a Solution
Placing a small cupboard and a table in a small space in a small house will actually make the small house feel full and tight. Why not use a desk with drawers or a multifunctional cabinet that can be used as a cabinet together? Today, multifunctional tables are widely available on the market with varying prices.
By utilizing multifunctional furniture, you have saved space in the small house that you inhabit. If the bedroom is narrow and you need extra space to store equipment, buy a mattress that has a drawer under the bed that can be used as a storage cabinet.
5. Carpet Pattern Motifs For A Broader Display Room
If you don't have carpets for a small house and plan to shop for rugs, buy a carpet with a small repetitive pattern. Carpets with small repetitive pattern motifs will give the impression of a wider room.
Place the carpet under the living room table. Alas, carpets with different repetitive patterns on other furniture in your small house such as under beds, sofas, and cabinets. This is an eye illusion trick to make a small house look spacious, not tight, and look bright.
6. Wall Furniture For TV
If the family room in your small house is narrow, don't hesitate to put some electronic devices on the wall. Hang the television on the wall, place a DVD player, game console, or speaker on the wall to provide open space on the floor.
7. Strip pattern floor
Clothes with stripes or vertical stripes will make someone look taller and a horizontal stripe pattern will make someone look wider. Apply this eye illusion to your little house. If the room in your small house is wider, apply a carpet or floor paint with a vertical pattern to give the impression of a longer room and vice versa.
8. Large Windows and Curtains
The large window will ensure that the intensity of the sun's lighting entering the room in the small house is enough so that it changes the impression of a small house into a spacious, bright and open house.
With the help of curtains and large and high curtains, the ceiling will look taller and your small house will look wider vertically.
9. Remove the Door
What is meant by the door at this point is not the main door of the house to the terrace, but the door to the separation between one room and another space. If the family room and dining room are separated by a door, you can choose to remove the door and replace it with a room divider.
To prevent the corridor from appearing stiff, provide decorative and decorative photo frames and paintings. You can also use empty space by applying wooden shelves to the wall as bookshelves or storage areas.
