Is your house not that big and would you like to make it look bigger and more spacious? Our property is not large but still very spacious. In this home blog AVN Interior give you 6 handy home tips to make your house look bigger.
1. Looks through
Make your house look bigger with: vistas! They break open the space, making it appear larger. Consider whether a wall between the kitchen can be broken open. This home has a light floor and is connected with glass doors in room-and-suite style so that the seating area still looks spacious.
Mirrors and transparent materials are magic agents. Position a mirror so that it reflects a passage. Mirrors reflect the light and you get a beautifully light and spacious room. Another nice idea is to place a window between the adjacent hall or extra room.
2. Light
Choose light colors on the walls, floor and furniture and allow as much daylight into the house as possible.
Enlarge window and door sections; break open floors and install extra (roof) windows in interior and exterior walls. Keep a close eye on the supporting structure of your house and check with the municipality whether a permit is required. Opening walls for extra high doors and frames with lots of glass provides a sea of light. With the right window covering you can control the light as desired.

Often the stairs are behind a wall, by half removing the wall in front of the stairs the room seems much more spacious. In addition, the stairs get much more light, which makes the steps easier to see.
3. Expand
By making diagonal lines in, for example, laying the floor, you make the room look bigger. This is wonderful with tiles and with wooden floors. Also ideal for the small bathroom or toilet!
4. Functional furniture
The less furniture, the larger the room appears. Make your house look bigger and therefore choose multi-functional furniture, large models and use all possible installation options to make maximum use of the space. Ideas are an XL sofa and cupboard space in empty stairwell.
Use the maximum width, depth or height. In this way, the wall and floor are used optimally and everything looks bigger. Like wall wide planks on the wall, the wall appears wider.
The more floor is visible, the greater the spatial effect. Therefore, alternate heavy furniture with lightweight legs. Where possible, choose transparent, light materials and floating models. With white floors and white furniture, a space seems larger and lighter than ever!
5. Clean up
Give all things, large and small a permanent place. The less there is around, the cleaner and therefore larger your house seems. Alternate open spaces with closed ones. Make unsightly belongings disappear in drawers or boxes and only show what can be seen. Small accessories are nice to group in one or more places. That way it stays calm.
6. Calm basis
Choose a living style and implement it throughout the house.
A clean house looks calmer and larger.
Involve inside with outside and vice versa. This is possible with large patio doors, a veranda or an adjoining terrace.
