MAKING SMALLER HOMES LIVE LARGER
Solutions and Illusions to Enlarge Your Living Space Smaller homes can feel significantly larger with a bit of attention to the following:
COLOR CHOICES
Select lighter, brighter, cooler colors to visually enlarge smaller rooms. Consult an expert to determine the best choices in tones, shades and sheens.
STORAGE SOLUTIONS
Think beyond closets and unfinished storage areas. Use your creative eye to find nooks and crannies throughout the home that will accommodate built-in cabinets, cubby holes and shelving.
OUTDOOR LIVING AREAS
Take advantage of the additional space offered by purchasing decks building plans, patios, porch plans, three-season room plans and sunrooms / home additions. Accessorize these areas to be as pleasing and functional as interior rooms.
PROPERLY SIZED FURNISHINGS
Be mindful of the visual impact of your furnishings. Bulky, overstuffed furniture – as opposed to sleeker, streamlined pieces – can tend to make rooms feel smaller.
INTERIOR LIGHTING
Eliminate dark spots with appropriate mood and task lighting. Make every effort to optimize the use of natural light throughout the home, as well as views to the outside.
