Making your home more spacious can really improve your mood and happiness. The trick to creating more space in your home isn’t necessarily spending money on more things. It’s about positioning your things better. Decorative paintings, pictures, books and other décor can make a huge difference in how your home feels. Positioning furniture and art works so that they take up more space makes it feel less constricting and opens up the area around them so you can see more of your surroundings. The following tips should help you make your house feel more spacious.

Use the same flooring

Using the same flooring throughout a home, which could include floor coverings and tile, creates a cohesive look that blends spaces together without forcing the reader to jam her vision into a small area. It can also help create a sense of unity throughout your home.It also makes rooms look more spacious and connected when they aren’t. If you’re not sure what type of flooring works for your home, research different options to make sure you choose something that will hold up over time and get nice and clean without having to replace tons of items throughout the home.

Keep it light

If you’re planning on decorating a small space, making sure it will come off as inviting is important. White walls can be a great choice (especially if there are books or other printed material being displayed) because they invite daylight and won’t be too busy or distracting in a smaller space.

More lighting sources

Adding lighting to a small space can add a sense of warmth and space. Lighting in rooms adds interest and reveals unseen details that would be lost in shadow.Think about how you use your space—how often and for how long. The intervals between light sources can tell a story about the space.
