You can make your apartment feel spacious by using neutral colors, eliminating clutter, and letting in lots of light.
If you are enjoying your new apartment home but want it to feel a little more spacious, there are things you can do to make any space feel larger. No matter how many roommates you have or how much space your children occupy, you can make design choices that make your apartment feel spacious, relaxing, and welcoming. If you want to make your Beechtree Apartment home feel larger, remember the following five tips.
First, Simplify Your Décor
The first thing to remember to help your apartment feel spacious is to avoid over-decorating a small space. Even if you select stylish items, too many pieces of décor, furniture, or knick-knacks can make any room feel overwhelming and cluttered. Take the time to review your belongings and remove items you don’t need hanging around. If you want to hold on to some things, you can find storage space for them and cycle out items during the year to keep the room design fresh.
Reflect Natural Light
Light can significantly change how we feel about any space in our home. Mirrors or shiny objects and décor can help open up your space by reflecting light. Reflecting light helps create the illusion that a room is bigger than it truly is. By hanging your mirrors in locations that reflect natural light from your windows, you can create the sense of an ample, well-lit space.
Hang Items High
When you hang art, mirrors, curtains, or use storage, hanging up items as high as you can helps emphasize the height of your ceilings. By using up all of your space, you draw attention to the height of your ceiling and make the room feel larger. Going upwards is much better than spreading out your décor or items horizontally around your room, making the room feel much more cluttered and crowded.
Use Neutral Tones
The overuse of bright, bold colors can quickly shrink any space. Try to minimize the range of colors used in prominent décor, furniture, and rugs, and stay away from dark, deep tones when you can. Using neutral colors (whites, light grays, tans) can quickly help your apartment feel spacious and less “busy.” When choosing colors outside a neutral palette, it is best to use similar colors for a more cohesive style.
Always Keep It Clean
It won’t matter how you decorate your apartment if you don’t keep it tidy. If it doesn’t come naturally, make a daily effort to clear away any piles of clutter or messes that accumulate. If you have a busy schedule, you can set aside a day of the week to clean more in-depth. You may even rotate cleaning chores if you have a roommate or live with your family.
When you remember these tips, you can quickly turn your apartment into a spacious, comfortable home you can’t wait to show off.
