Here are some tips that will help you with designing any room in your home -
To change one’s perception of a room’s size, alter the scale of the objects within it.
One of the oldest tricks used to make a small room feel bigger, is to introduce a few overscaled objects. This tricks the eye into seeing the whole space as bigger than it really is. An example would be to add huge pots, vases or bowls, or a tall floor-to-ceiling door to a small room.
It is important to mix objects of different sizes, one large and one small, rather than sticking to medium sized d?cor items. When using objects of different sizes, there needs to be a visual link between them. This continuity is achieved using the same color and/or texture.
Oversized decor items help to make a large room feel less cavernous; they help the space to feel more intimate. If your room feels too large, buy the biggest items you can.
Small scale objects will make large rooms feel enormous, but paradoxically, these undersized d?cor items make moderate sized rooms feel smaller.
Large windows and large mirrors make rooms feel bigger. Sliding glass doors and French doors are very much like windows in this regard and can make the room feel much larger than it actually is. Just be sure that the view from these windows and glass doors is beautiful and has depth of field. If you are in a city, you can use planter boxes, window boxes, and hanging pots to create rows of plants at different heights. This helps the eye to interpret your balcony, patio, or the space between your building and the next one, as having more room to move around in than it really does. Looking through glass doors and windows at this natural beauty will give the room an open feeling, and you’ll experience the room as more spacious than it is.
