Fabulous Interiors: 4 Ways To Maximize Space And Visual Appeal

When designing the interior of your home, it can be hard to get it right. Ensuring that you achieve a consistent look isn’t easy, particularly if you want to make your rooms look and feel spacious. If this is a problem you are facing, then read on for some hints and tips.

Here are 4 ways to maximize space and visual appeal.

Declutter

If your room is filled to the brim with belongings or looks generally cluttered, it will look smaller and could also look a bit of a mess. Decluttering will make your space look far more appealing and make more of a focal point of the things you decide to keep.

Get rid of any rubbish, donate anything you no longer need or use and find a home for the things you intend to retain. Your room could look entirely different very quickly.

Clean

Another great way to maximize space and visual appeal is to make sure your room is clean. Wipe down surfaces, give any window dressing a wash/dry clean and clean your windows. They are there to allow light to flood into a room, but if your window panes are grubby, not only can they block out natural light, but it doesn’t look great either.

Similarly, if your carpets are stained, discolored, or look a little bleak, arrange to have them professionally cleaned. Specialist cleaning and restoration companies like Woodard can make carpets come to life again and help make your room look clean, bright, and spacious.

Lighting

Lighting can make a big difference to your room. If you are after some inspiration, have a look online for some fabulous lighting options. Angled lighting can help accentuate certain parts of a room, while dimmable lighting can create a relaxing ambiance. Tall floor lamps are great for lighting up otherwise dull corners of a room and can help create a more spacious feel.

If you have shelving in your room, recessed shelf lighting is not only functional but also has the look of a well-considered interior design choice.

When it comes to bulbs, it’s advisable to go for a warm white rather than a cool white bulb, the latter of which can make a room feel stark and clinical. Warm white bulbs have a more natural glow and can make a room feel more homely.

Storage

Being clever when it comes to storage will help maximize space, so consider this when buying new furniture. If, for example, you are purchasing a new bed, opt for an ottoman style bed or a divan with integrated drawers. The extra space will come in very handy and give you lots of room to store items that you don’t feel are good enough to be displayed.

Coffee tables, bedside tables, and TV units are also great for additional storage so try to buy pieces that give you the maximum amount of room to store belongings. The less cluttered your home, the more visually appealing it will be.
