Rethink Your Bedroom
Most people with even a small amount of decorating experience know the dramatic change that materialises from painting your walls a different colour. Another often overlooked way to change the way a room looks is to change the flooring, purple rugs can make a refreshing change from exposed floorboards.
Another useful tip to change the feel of a room is to change the shape of the space itself. It’s not always an easy task to pull this off successfully. Rooms which are quite narrow with very high ceilings can feel claustrophobic - a great way to combat this is to install a false ceiling with down lighters. If your loo is located adjacent to your bathroom it’s a sensible idea to remove the parting wall. The principle of rethinking the layout of your home by either moving parting walls or putting new ones in where needs be is a very effective way to transform your living space.
A very useful way of increasing the apparent size of a room if it is quite thin is to hang large mirrors on opposing walls. Small mirrors also go a long way to achieving the desired affect and can often cost the fraction of the price of a huge mirror. What you are trying to aim for can be likened to an optical illusion where the brain thinks there is more space around than in fact there actually is. If the room is high enough to accommodate another level then building a level at one end is a great idea to make the most of the space.
Comfortable furniture is an absolute must for any home and can make a huge difference to a room. If your room is one designed to relax in make sure that the furniture you choose for it allows you to relax.
